Some people came for a screening. 🩺
Some came for answers. 🔎
And others simply came hoping someone could help. 🫂

At our first-ever Bridges to Care Community Health Fair, we were reminded that health care starts with human connection. 💙

From free screenings and insurance assistance to community resources and meaningful conversations, dozens of neighbors, students, faculty and community partners came together with one shared goal: helping people get the care they need.

THANK YOU to everyone who attended, volunteered and partnered with us to make this event possible. Together, we’re building healthier communities — one connection at a time. ⭐️
