Junior League CARE Fair, which will celebrate its 16th year in 2008, is an annual, two-day event organized and directed by the Junior League of Salt Lake City for families needing routine medical services and community assistance information. Typically, there are major barriers (i.e., time, language, financial, and transportation constraints) that prevent some Utah families from receiving many basic health and human services. The Junior League CARE Fair eliminates many of these barriers by bringing together community agencies and medical service providers at one time and in one place. And the majority of medical services are provided free of charge at the Junior League CARE Fair!
Parents and children may apply for and receive services from 50 different community agencies; receive free medical examinations and immunizations as well as physicals, hearing, vision and dental screening, diabetes and cholesterol screening, breast exams, asthma screening and HIV testing. Vouchers for free mammograms off-site are made available. Participants may enter drawings for health and safety related items such as car seats, bike helmets, etc.
