Mark your calendars, Houston! On Saturday, January 25, 2025, the Harris Health Martin Luther King Jr. Health Center is rolling out the red carpet for community wellness. From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., this Health and Wellness Fair promises more than just screenings—it’s a celebration of care, compassion, and community.

Located at 3550 Swingle Road, the Martin Luther King Jr. Health Center is set to transform into a hub of health-focused activity. Offering free mammograms, COVID and flu vaccines, and screenings for blood pressure, cervical cancer, HIV, and HPV, this event underscores the health center’s unwavering commitment to serving Harris County. And for those bringing the little ones, children’s immunizations are part of the lineup too! 

Why This Matters

In a city as vibrant and diverse as Houston, access to quality healthcare can be a challenge for many. That’s where Harris Health steps in, bridging the gap and prioritizing the health of underserved communities. This event is more than just an opportunity—it’s a lifeline. Whether it’s the life-saving early detection of cervical cancer or the community-wide protection from contagious illnesses through vaccines, this health fair is here to empower residents to take charge of their well-being.

For a touch of added care, Houston Food Bank will be on-site, distributing free food to attendees while supplies last. (Because we all know health begins with proper nutrition!) Attendees seeking mammograms or screenings for cervical cancer and HPV are encouraged to schedule appointments in advance by calling 281-454-0913. Don’t miss this chance to invest in yourself and your loved ones!
