*Non MRS event
On Saturday September 19, 2009, CHAMPS (Community Health and Men?s Promotion Summit) will conduct its Tenth Annual Health Fair. Any man 18 years or older gets a free complete physical exam valued at over $2,000.
Last year we did over 500 physicals, that also included three cancer screenings and dental exams. Part of the program includes a one-on-one consult with a volunteer physician after completion of the physical (before leaving the event).
Over 40% of the participants have medical coverage, however they just do not seek medical care . It is important that we have representatives of various organizations available onsite to help their members find good follow up care.
|
CHAMPS provides a broad range of health information and
screening services to adult men of the metro-Atlanta area.
|
|
|
Our initiative focuses on the importance of men addressing their health
and becoming more educated about overall healthier lifestyles.
