Woburn Church Hosting Community Health & Wellness Fair

WOBURN, MA — Woburn's St. John's Baptist Church and a handful of community partners are inviting the public to attend the Community Health and Wellness Fair on Saturday.

The free event will last from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at St. John's, located at 38-40 Everett St. in Woburn. Co-sponsors of the event are Beth Israel Lahey Health, Moms Demand Action, PHEN and Social Capital Inc.

According to organizers, attendees at the event will be able to pick up educational literature or speak to professionals about health issues like prostate care, breast care awareness, diabetes and multiple sclerosis, to name a few.

"The Health and Wellness Fair is designed to bring the community together with healthcare professionals and to bring awareness to several illnesses that generally don't show symptoms until later in the progression of the illness," Toni Walker, the Health and Wellness chairperson for St. John's Baptist Church, told Patch.

There also will be an opportunity for attendees to get the latest COVID-19 booster. Those who choose to do so will receive a $25 gift certificate.

"I feel this (event) is important because people will have an opportunity to meet and talk to health professionals that service their community," Walker said. "Also, it lets the community know that the City Of Woburn and the organizations within that community are trying to give back in various ways."
