SUMMARY:HEARTS AND SMILES HEALTH FAIR
DESCRIPTION:Due to the success of the inaugural event in 2015\, the Hearts and Smiles Health  Fair will return again this year to the Hamilton Health Center on Saturday the 30th of April 2016. \nThe primary goal of this one day event is to provide dental screenings and treatment to the underserved (both uninsured and underinsured) population in the Harrisburg area with a target of delivering dental care to at least 100 patients.  The impact that dental health/care has on general overall medical health is often overlooked.  Additionally\, in partnering with Pinnacle Health\, several medical screening services and educational booths targeted at encouraging healthier lifestyles will be running throughout the day as well.  This type of an event has been needed in the Harrisburg area for way too long and we have every intention of making this not only an annual event but are committed to making it grow to reach more individuals in need each and every year. \n  \nPlease contact Brian Lorei @ drlorei@straightsmiles.com to get more information or to volunteer \n  \n~ Individually\, we are all just drops of water but together we can be an ocean!
