Good Morning,

Since the onset of the pandemic, many of our neighbors have had difficulties or hesitations about getting back into a doctor’s office for a checkup. These visits with a physician are vital to monitoring health and should be accessible to everyone, regardless of health insurance coverage, which is why I’m hitting the streets and bringing the physicians to our neighborhood!

I hope you’ll join me at my Fall Into Wellness event. I am excited to partner with Wayne State University’s Mobile Health Units to host an all-inclusive community health fair at O’Hair Park on Nov. 5 from 1-6 p.m.

  • Blood pressure screening.
  • Diabetes, cholesterol and kidney function screening.
