Care Fair
Utahns without health insurance can get free medical and dental care next week at a three-day health fair organized by the Junior League of Salt Lake City.
Routine medical services - including, physicals, immunizations and hearing, vision, dental, diabetes, cholesterol and HIV screenings - will be provided free at the event, Aug. 11-13. Appointments aren't necessary and anyone is eligible.
All a person must do, say organizers, is show up at the Horizonte Instruction and Training Center at 1234 S. Main Street during the following dates and times:
* Aug. 11: 4 p.m. to 8 p.m.
* Aug. 12: noon to 8 p.m.
* Aug. 13: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
In addition to on-site exams, vouchers for free off-site mammograms will be available. People may enter drawings for health- and safety-related items, such as car seats and bike helmets. Also, interpreters and representatives from 50 government social services agencies will be on hand to answer questions about qualifying for various aid programs, from food stamps and legal aid to subsidized housing.
