Health Fair

The Fair Lawn Senior Center, in conjunction with the Fair Lawn Health Department, held an event called “Health Screenings from Head to Toe” at the Fair Lawn Senior Center on the morning of Thursday, May 25, 2006. The successful event was well attended; local physicians, nurses, and other health professionals representing area hospitals and wellness establishments conducting various free screenings for about one hundred participants.
