Latinx Health Fair – Volunteer Opportunities- 6/19

What: A health fair where we hope to bring diabetes education and services directly to the King County Latinx community. During this event we will provide:  

• A1C point of care testing.  
• Chronic disease education on diabetes and hypertension.  
• Education on exercise and physical therapy related to diabetes.  
• Healthy eating education from UW dietary staff volunteers, and information on local healthy food stores and farmers’ markets.  
• COVID-19 vaccinations.  
• We also plan on having a health-centered chef that will be preparing some yummy nutritional food, and a Zumba instructor giving everyone in the community some tips on how to burn a few calories and have fun while doing it!  

When: June 19th (Saturday) 10:00am – 3:00pm  

Where:   SEA MAR FEDERAL WAY MEDICAL CLINIC 

31405 18TH AVE S 

FEDERAL WAY, WA 98003 

Sign up instructions: During this event we will have about 12 tables set up where we will offer all of the services described above and more. Our goal is to have 2-3 students per table helping out with various duties (~20 total). Nursing, PA, PT, MPH and MSW students may also volunteer. In addition, other health sciences staff (such as physicians, nurses, MAs, Pas, NPs, etc.) are encouraged to volunteer as well.  

We are especially seeking Spanish speakers at any level, but all volunteers are needed and welcome! 

Interested folks can sign up for one shift (9:30am-12:30pm or 12:30-3:30pm) or for the entire day (9:30am-3:00pm). After signing up we will assign volunteers to specific duties and give out more information on what they will be doing that day.
