Fifth Annual NSU/FOMA Health Fair at Tower Shops

FT. LAUDERDALE-DAVIE, FL— Nova Southeastern University’s Health Professions Division and the Florida Osteopathic Medical Association (FOMA) have teamed up to hold their Fifth Annual Health Fair, 10:30 a.m.–3:30 p.m. on Saturday, April 30, at the Tower Shops/Home Depot Plaza, Davie.

The Health Fair, which is open to the general public, will feature free health checks and professional consultations, including vision, dental, blood pressure, and diabetes screenings. Pharmacists from NSU’s Pharmacy will be available to offer medication interaction consultations. The fair will also feature experts in family medicine, audiology, pediatrics, occupational therapy, public health, and geriatrics.

The Broward County Fire Department will be on hand throughout the day to greet children, giving them a rare opportunity to speak with real local heroes. NSU’s Aramark Dining Services will be serving up a “Davie-style Barbecue” (cookout begins at 11:30 a.m. and continues while supplies last), but before heading over to eat, attendees can stop by the bloodmobile to donate blood for patients at various local hospitals.
