Pioneer Medical Foundation Hosts Fifth Annual Free Community Health Fair
For many residents across Tampa Bay, access to medical care and critical community resources can be a daily challenge. To help bridge that gap, the non-profit Pioneer Medical Foundation will host its Fifth Annual Community Health Fair. Attendees will have access to a wide range of resources and support. This includes preventive health screenings, dental care, mental health support, and personal care services such as showers, haircuts, and manicures. A mobile pharmacy and pantry will be on-site.
“From day one, Pioneer Medical Foundation has been guided by a simple principle: high-quality health care should be accessible to everyone, and strong communities are built when no one is left behind,” said Dr. S. Ifran Ali, president and CEO of Pioneer Medical Group. “The Community Health Fair is a tangible expression of that mission, bringing together volunteers, physicians, and partners to remove barriers and make a real difference in people’s lives.”
Since its inception, the Community Health Fair has served more than 1,000 people who might not otherwise have access to care. Last year, nearly 200 community members received dental extractions, blood pressure and diabetes screenings, warm meals, and follow-up treatment. One participant's mammogram revealed a potential health concern and was quickly connected to lifesaving care.
