East Point firefighters are hosting a health fair Saturday, April 17
It'll be the fifth annual event that brings together the community and the emergency workers. It takes places at Fire Station No. 1, at 2757 East Point St.
This year’s health fair will focus on childhood obesity, which is a health problem that can cause a lifetime of poor health. The health fair will have information about prevention, early detection and educational information for children.
The fair opens at 11 and wraps up at 3.
The firefighters have a strong advocate on this issue. First Lady Michelle Obama has embraced lowering obesity. She started the Let's Move program. Go here to see resources to fight this problem.
