Madison Hosts Community Health and Wellness Fairs During April

Throughout the month of April, Madison Square Boys & Girls Club will host Community Health & Wellness Fairs at each of its seven clubhouses. Community members can attend and participate in a variety of activities, from medical screenings, to dental checkups, to classes on physical fitness. Information about free and low-cost health care will also be available, and attendees will be connected with important community health and nutrition resources. The events are free and open to the public.

WHY: One of Madison's primary goals is to help its youth maintain healthy, active lifestyles and engage in positive behaviors. Our children, their families, and the communities we serve often lack access to quality health care and face growing epidemics - like childhood obesity, diabetes and asthma.
