Maui health fair

Hui No Ke Ola Pono, Maui's Native Hawaiian Heahh System, will be having a free heahh fair June 15 in Wailuku. The heahh fair, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the J. Walter Cameron Center, offers free screenings for cholesterol, blood glucose and blood pressure. Those who complete the screenings will be provided a free luneh and makana (gift). Hui No Ke Ola Pono, whieh focuses on improving Native Hawaiian Heahh with disease-prevention education, has found the free screenings helpful in identifying high blood pressure and high blood glucose in people who don't usually visit the doctor. Community agencies will also be on hand to provide information about their services. For more information, contact Courtney DiMaggio at (808) 442-6806 or cspencer @ hnkop ,org.
