The Foundation at Bergen Regional Medical Center will sponsor free community health fairs for the public in the auditorium of the Medical Center on Tuesday, May 19 from 10am-2pm and 6pm-8pm.
From 10am-2pm, representatives from the hospital’s Outpatient Ambulatory Clinic will be on hand for the event to answer questions about the hospital’s 21 ambulatory clinical specialty services. Information regarding healthcare coverage options for uninsured or underinsured New Jersey residents will also be available. Free blood pressure and blood glucose screenings will be offered to visitors, as well as free lung volume tests and other screenings and educational information. Representatives will be available from Bergen Regional’s Long Term Care Division to answer questions regarding long term care, respite care, hospice and other related topics.
That same day from 6pm-8pm in the auditorium of Bergen Regional, there will be a mental health fair offered to the community that will feature depression screenings for both adolescents and adults, information regarding addiction services and other behavioral health services and programs offered at the hospital. Marion Jacobs Kahn, famed author of the book ‘Child of Madness’ will be on hand to meet those who attend.
There will be give-a-ways, door prizes and light refreshments at both health fairs.
“There are so many services that the Medical Center offers that people just don’t know about,” said Joseph S. Orlando, President of BRMC. “We are happy to open our doors and invite the public to learn what they may not know about Bergen Regional and more importantly, offer some very important health screenings, tests and educational information to our community.”
“It is important to us that we are a community partner here in Bergen County and that we are available to help provide our neighbors critical health care services,” said Orlando.
