Congreso screened hundreds of people
After a long (but fun) year of planning, the American Heart Association, the American Diabetes Association, and Univision 62 finally had their health fair, Congreso para el Bienestar de la Familia, at the Mexican American Cultural Center on March 28.
We at Estilo want to congratulate everyone involved for the great success the event had in its first year. The good people at El Buen Samaritano tell us that they screened 340 people for blood glucose and gave out 60 glucose monitors to those who needed them. Congreso also had cholesterol and blood pressure screenings, as well as hearing and vision tests. Great job guys!
We talked to attendees, volunteers, performers, committee members, and MACC people, and the general vibe is that everyone had a great time. We’re really looking forward to working on next year’s Congreso, and of course, we’ll keep you updated!
