The Hero & Health Fair was a free drive-through health fair at Bible Center Church in Charleston in November 2021. The county health department ran it with CAMC, the Kanawha County Emergency Ambulance Authority and other local partners.
Visitors could get flu and COVID-19 vaccines, blood pressure and blood sugar checks, at-home colon cancer test kits, low-cost bloodwork, car seat checks and smoke alarms.
The “hero” part was for families: children could meet first responders and see emergency vehicles, and the first 200 children received free bike helmets.
It followed an earlier fair at the Shawnee Sports Complex on November 4, 2021. See Drive-Through Health Fairs, Fall 2021.
