La Plaza Comunitaria and La Paz de Dios will host an annual Hispanic health fair Sunday in conjunction with Binational Health Week, organizers said.
Mirtha Jones, director of Plaza Comunitaria, an initiative of Chattanooga State Technical Community College, said it is important to have a health fair specifically for Hispanics because "There are a lot of Latinos in the area that don't have access to medical care."
She said this is the second year the health fair will be held together with Binational Health Week.
The fair will include about 20 different organizations offering information on various illnesses, such as tuberculosis, epilepsy and testing for HIV and AIDS, according to organizers. The fair also will have entertainment and door prizes.
Kasey Poole, spokeswoman for the Chattanooga Hamilton County Health Department, which is participating in the health fair, said outreach "is always important when we work with the community."
She said it is fundamental to educate people about health care services available to them, and interpreters will be available for participants who need them.
"We want to make sure we provide all the information in their language and let them know there are other places where they can receive free health care services," Ms. Jones said.
She said organizers are expecting 250 to 300 people at the fair.
Binational Health Week is an annual weeklong series of health-promotion and health-education activities geared toward migrants and immigrants from Mexico and Central America.

Porter won’t do any work himself. He just makes blatant accusations w/ out any backup. Typical....
Where does the story mention illegal aliens?
Where in the story does it mention illegals?
Don’t really Care if it did or not... but, If you have to be babied in your OWN LANGUAGE, you are NOT willing to even TRY to FIT IN!! In which case, maybe you should go where you would be better welcomed. CUBA, Maybe?? The CHIP is on your shoulder, not mine!
Oh puhleeze! That's ridiculous and shows your mindset. I'll say it again, you've got issues.
Also-—they get monthly SSI checks for their kids—— with claims the kids have ADD.
Latinos call it the “crazy disease.”
Apparently they all do it.........easy money from the gringos.
Who is chasing off Hispanics?? “ If you think it is okay to chase off all the Hispanics from this forum, all the African Americans, all the Jewish, and every other minority group because of all the hatred from thread like these”.... WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU????
I’m concerned that recently, every time somebody post a story about Hispanics at the FR, there seems to be more and more Hispanic bashing; a continous drum beat... worse and worse and worse.
I’ll call them on it, every time.
Now, where in the story does it mention illegals?
Hey.
This thread provides a portal to KOS.
Summary of the thread to date:
“You’re a racist!”
“No, you are!”
“No, you are!”
“You newbie racist!”
“You illegal racist!”
“You goober!”
“You have cooties”
“Na na na na na”.
We now return you to this thread’s regularly scheduled ranting silliness. :)
As you accuse, with the rest, that all Hispanics are illegal, or, excuse me, presumed illegal.
American citizens are losing their savings/homes/futures......while freeloading illegal invaders own homes in the countries they emanate from, have cash in the bank, and are riding the US gravy train, sponging-off hardworking US citizens.
We know illegal invaders are sending as much as $50 billion US dollars per year back to their home countries. The money is gained from illegal employment....and for all we know....from SS fraud, drug deals, tax evasion, ID theft, and other criminal activities.
Who in these foreign countries is getting a cut of the $50 billion?
It would be easy for the US government to trace monies from the point of departure at Western Union to determine whether WU is aiding in the hiding and conversion and transmission of the invaders illegal cash to legitimate funds............and who, on the other end, is receiving the monies.
ALL international WU money transfers need to be filtered and siezed as necessary to discern the money trail from the invaders on US soil, to Mexico, and Central and South American governments.
We need to determine whether these illegal invaders are agents of foreign governments, and whether they should be prosecuted for undermining US national security.
=======================================
BACKUP In June 2007, Representative Steve King introduced legislation that would prohibit Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi from traveling to Syria in violation of the Logan Act. The amendment was not adopted. The Logan Act is a United States federal law that forbids unauthorized citizens from negotiating with foreign governments. It was passed in 1799 and last amended in 1994. Violation of the Logan Act is a felony, punishable under federal law with imprisonment of up to three years.
