2nd Annual South King County Latina Health Fair

Grace Community Church 1320 Auburn Way S. Auburn, Washington | 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM

To increase access to health care for women and families, local health organizations are coming together on September 9 to provide free health screenings, health information and community resources at the 2nd Annual South King County Latina Health Fair.

Spanish-speaking staff will be present at the fair. Interested women can call 206-205-6973 to make a mammogram appointment.

This year's Health of King County report by Public Heath - Seattle & King County shows that south King County experiences lower health status and more limited access to health care when compared with other areas of the county. In addition, Latinos are disproportionately affected by higher rates of adolescent births, physical inactivity, HIV and access to care.


Sponsor: Seattle & King County, the Komen Foundation, the Washington Breast & Cervical Health Program, YWCA, Community Health Pla
