Mary Lambert\u2019s eyes lit up when she was asked to speak about the significance of the Minority Health Fair taking place at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am so proud of the UTC campus and the School of Nursing,\u201d said Lambert, director of the city of Chattanooga\u2019s Office of Community Health and a member of the School of Nursing\u2019s second graduating class in 1978. \u201cIt is so important to have this event in the center of the community and to provide all these services to many who probably don\u2019t have access to this.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s what we\u2019re working on in the city\u2019s Office of Community Health: To make sure that our community has all of the healthcare services they need so that we\u2019re physically and emotionally a healthier city, and to see it at UTC is amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Saturday, Aug. 6, the 21st<\/sup> annual Hamilton County Minority Health Fair occurred at the University Center. Known as the area\u2019s largest health fair event, the Minority Health Fair\u2014previously held at Eastgate Mall\u2014was created to address an essential need: Providing free health services for the benefit of underserved communities in Chattanooga.<\/p>\n

A host of vendors could be found inside and outside the University Center\u2014including mobile mammography and lung screening stations parked along Terrell Owens Way outside the building entrance\u2014providing free health screenings and information.<\/p>\n

Multiple presentations were scheduled to take place in the University Center Tennessee Room on topics including breast cancer awareness, metabolic syndrome, colon cancer, and cardiovascular complications of COVID-19.<\/p>\n

Organizers expected up to 1,000 attendees for this year\u2019s event. According to its website, the Minority Health Fair<\/a> has served more than 10,000 individuals during its existence.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll see how many folks we can get in here, and it\u2019s looking pretty full right now,\u201d Lambert said. \u201cI look around, and I am so proud of my University. I have three other degrees, but my UTC degree began it all.<\/p>\n

\u201cI look forward to bigger and better things with UTC and our health program for the city.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nikki Goddard, a graduate student in the family nurse practitioner program, talks to a Minority Health Fair attendee.<\/p><\/div>\n

Amber Roach\u00e9, the nurse practitioner program coordinator for the UTC School of Nursing, said the Minority Health Fair is an excellent opportunity for her students to interact with members of the community.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe offer blood pressure, blood sugar, height and weight, body mass index, cholesterol screenings and nutrition education,\u201d she said, \u201cand a lot of folks come here thinking, \u2018This is my primary care visit for the year.\u2019 We\u2019re not meant to replace that by any stretch, so when those people tell us those things, we can also say, \u2018Here are resources in our community where you can get free or low-cost healthcare. Here are resources where you can get access to food for low or free cost.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s really important for our students to be able to see this and interact with our community\u2014and for our students to be able to see the other agencies that are available for them as resources when they become nurse practitioners.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nikki Goddard, on schedule to graduate from the family nurse practitioner program in May 2023, was among the UTC nurse practitioner personnel set up in a series of University Center Chattanooga Room stations.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s important to get out in the community and see patients that we will eventually be seeing in our own practice and improve health in our community in any way that we can,\u201d said Goddard, a native of Clarksville, Tennessee.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe try to teach them that a proactive approach to their health is really important. These screenings can help their health further down the line.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dawn Ford, an assistant professor in the Master of Public Health program in the UTC Health and Human Performance department and the University\u2019s chief epidemiologist, spoke about the importance of bringing the event to UTC.<\/p>\n

\u201cUTC is a community-engaged campus,\u201d Ford said, \u201cand this really shows our dedication to the community to improve their health. There are neighborhoods very close to UTC that are underserved. They don\u2019t get the healthcare that they need. They don\u2019t have access to providers, so this is critically important.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ford said the MPH program received a grant from the Lambert-led Office of Community Health to help support COVID-19 and monkeypox education and outreach efforts.<\/p>\n

Ford was joined at the health fair by MPH graduate students Taylor Teasley and Jillian Saraney. The two have graduate assistantships with the city this academic year.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the MPH program, we really want to\u2014more than anything\u2014spread awareness of health issues like monkeypox. There\u2019s so much misinformation already out there,\u201d said Teasley, a native of Knoxville. \u201cWe want to make sure that we are able to let people know exactly what\u2019s happening and get them the right information.\u201d<\/p>\n

This was the first health fair for Teasley and Saraney.<\/p>\n

\u201cAn event like this gives me the opportunity to interact with the community, which is important for someone like me who wants to get involved in the community and make an impact,\u201d said Saraney, who grew up in Murphy, North Carolina. \u201cIt\u2019s great to be on the ground doing this work and being face-to-face providing health information.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis event is really incredible for me. I\u2019m glad we have these opportunities for students to get experience and the community to benefit.\u201d<\/p>\n
