Committee on Health, Hospitals, and Human Services – HEALTH FAIR

The Office of Senator Ray Fonseca, Chairman of the Committee on Health, Hospitals, and Human Services, is honored to announce the forthcoming Annual Community Health Fair. This event is scheduled for September 23, 2025, and will be held at the Emancipation Garden from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM. We look forward to your participation in this important community initiative.

In collaboration with the Departments of Health and Human Services, the East End Medical Center Corporation, the V.I. Dental Center, the American Cancer Society, the Department of Agriculture, the Department of Education, the V.I. Diabetes Center of Excellence, We Grow Food Inc., and various other nonprofit organizations, we are organizing a community health fair for the residents of the St. Thomas/St. John district. This complimentary event will provide health screenings and referrals, aiming to identify early indicators of prevalent health issues while promoting the services available to many displaced residents. We anticipate that the insights gathered through direct engagement with our citizens will significantly inform our legislative discussions and funding priorities. This initiative seeks to address critical public health challenges and improve the living conditions for numerous individuals.
