Volunteer Coordinator: Jake Bezold Fundraising: Nichole Perry and Katie Taylor Web Manager: Justin Michael and Tai Do  The Terre Haute Community Health Fair is an event that invites leaders of the Terre Haute community to gather to educate area residents about their health and how they can improve it. The Terre Haute Community Health Fair began in 2005 and has been held as an annual event that is now organized by the medical students at Indiana University School of Medicine – Terre Haute. Each year the health fair has grown, and we are very excited about this year's new location, which is at the Terre Haute Boys and Girls Club (924 N 13th St). The health fair targets area residents; however, there are no boundaries when it comes to attendees. In past years, we have helped the young and old, poor and wealthy, as well as the insured and uninsured. The health fair is a great way for local organizations to connect with the Terre Haute Community. Many programs and services are offered at the health fair. In addition to the information about local organizations and services, we offer educational exhibits about personal health, fitness classes, massage therapy, and free health screenings. Past screenings have included vision, hearing, blood sugar, body mass index, and blood pressure. Popular educational exhibits consist of diabetes, nutrition, and osteoporosis as well as fun children's activities to get children of the community excited about health and wellness. The 2016 Terre Haute Community Health Fair will be held at the Terre Haute Boys and Girls Club (924 N. 13th St, Terre Haute, IN 47807) on Saturday, October 22, 2016 from 10:30am to 2:30 pm.
