CAHEP Free Health Fair
About 150 people from different communities took charge of their health at the free Colorado Asian Health Education and Promotion (CAHEP) Health Fair on Saturday and Sunday, November 1st and 2nd at the Denver Buddhist Temple and Denver Chinese Evangelical Free Church. Participants had many screenings and tests to choose from: allergy and asthma testing, osteoporosis screening, breast exams, diabetes and cholesterol testing. By partaking in at least two screenings, people were eligible for a free infl uenza vaccine. Or, if they chose not to get any screenings, flu shots cost $10. CAHEP’s Executive Director/Co-Founder, Alok Sarwal, estimates that 1,600 flu shots were given in a 30-day period since the end of September.
