The Cleveland Asian Festival is known for its cultural performances,
family friendly activities and delicious food.
These components contributed to the Cleveland Asian Festival being named
Best Festival in Cleveland. The annual
two-day event typically draws about 40,000 people to Cleveland’s Asia Town and
they spend about $2 million at the event and in the area.
But the most valuable contribution of the annual Cleveland Asian
Festival may be the Health Pavilion.
Free Health Screenings are available for all attendees at the Cleveland
Asian Festival. Major health care
organizations will be in attendance: Cleveland Clinic, MetroHealth, Louis
Stokes Cleveland VA Medical Center, Asian Services in Action, and Cleveland
Department of Public Health.
Screenings include vision, blood pressure, body mass index, glucose,
cholesterol, lead testing, mammogram (by appointment), sleep disorders, bone
density, HIV, and dental. Health
Education will also be available in relation to all of the screenings along
with alternative medicine.
Health Pavilion Chair Michael Mendoza said “The health pavilion is a
great way for festival goers to learn about their health and health services
from local experts. Health care organizations benefit from the high
traffic of people attending the festival to promote their services."
Volunteer interpreters will be on hand to help translate many Asian
languages for the health screenings. The
community should be made aware so they do not miss this valuable opportunity for
free, culturally aware health screenings.
