St Catherine High builds a healthier community
ST Catherine High School in Spanish Town on Friday, April 11 2014, catered to the physical, mental, financial, and spiritual health of residents from surrounding communities and its students.
The fair, held under the theme “Building a healthier me today”, provided the opportunity for participants to get free HIV and diabetes tests as well as doctor’s check-ups and dental visits. One elderly man was happy for the opportunity to have been able to visit the doctor for free, stating that he had been meaning to for some time, but just could not afford it.
In its third year, the health fair is a collaborative effort of the different student bodies at the institution to cater to the health needs of the community.
