Aug. 3, 2004 – In observance of Aug. 8-14 as National Health Center Week, several events are planned on St. Croix.
The Frederiksted Health Center/Ingeborg Nesbitt Clinic is hosting an open house on Aug. 11 beginning at 10 a.m. Members of the community are invited "to visit and get information on the type of services that are offered," a release stated.
And on Aug 14, there will be a health fair at the Sunny Isle Shopping Center. There, FHC/INC will provide free health screening with cholesterol, glucose and blood pressure tests as well as immunizations available to the public.
