Michigan, USA - The Chaldean American Association of Health Professionals (CAAHP) will be sponsoring a Chaldean Community Health ‘O Rama on Sunday, June 8th, 2008 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the afternoon. The health fair will be held in the Mother of God Church, Southfield community hall and is open to the entire community.
The event will feature physicians, medical specialists, the American Red Cross, and other related health professionals offering free health screening and testing services to the community.
High school and college students interested in health careers in medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, nursing, physical therapy, or health administration are invited to volunteer for the event. “This is a wonderful opportunity for both high school and college students to network with health professionals and pharmaceutical companies,” says Robert Kakos, assistant coordinator of the event. “To gain admission to medical or dental school, or a quality health program; students will need to demonstrate community involvement and secure recommendation letters. Volunteering at this event will go far in helping students reach their dreams.”
