Care Needs is partnering with the Board of Directors of Sojourner-Douglass College to hold a community health fair on Saturday, September 22, 2012 from 10:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. The event takes place at Sojourner-Douglass College’s Academic Hall building located at 200 N.

The event will include presentations, educational workshops, and group fitness sessions.
