As part of their spring community service programming, The NAAAP North Carolina Chapter and IBM-Asian Diversity Networking Group are joining forces to present a “Be Healthy in the Spring” Family Fun Asian Health Fair offering FREE screenings, educational information, and door prizes for the fast-growing population of Asian Americans in the Triangle area.

The event will be held on April 4, 2009 (Saturday) from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the Cary Senior Center, which is located at 120 Maury O’Dell Place, Cary, NC 27513. The Center's phone number is (919) 469-4081. This event is free and open to the public.

This health fair focuses on diseases and health care issues that disproportionately affect Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, such as osteoporosis, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hepatitis B, cancer, and a shortage of bone marrow donor registrants.

This will be an educational, fun, and informative event for the family. For more information, please visit: http://april2009asianhealthfair.weebly.com/
