Free Comprehensive Health Fair For The Uninsured on Saturday May 5th

United Citizens Foundation (UFC) is pleased to announce a free health fair benefiting the uninsured and needy families in the Southern Nevada Communities. The fair will be held at Cashman Center located at 850 Las Vegas Blvd. North, Las Vegas, Nevada 89101, on May 5th from 9:30 am. to 12:30 p.m. Participants are encouraged to bring their old pill bottle for new prescriptions offering limited refills. No medication will be given at the fair, only refill prescriptions. UCF’s Health Fair is extremely important to the number of uninsured patients in Las Vegas, particularly in this poor economy. According to estimates, nearly one of every four Nevadans is without health insurance. The Health Fair is being led by Dr. Kalpana Reddy who is passionate about serving the local community through the foundation.
