{ISTABA} FREE TAMPA HEALTH DAY SATURDAY!!

FREE MEDICAL and DENTAL EXAMS on FIRST COME FIRST SERVE BASIS
Asalamu Alaykum (Peace be onto you), 

Muslims Without Borders-Dental Relief, Red Crescent, and Project Downtown are reaching out to invite you to our Tampa Health Day. With the increasing premium of insurance companies, the current number of uninsured people is expected to rise as well. About 18% of Tampa's population is uninsured. With inadequate services and a lack of support to those who cannot afford health insurance, we have organized a free health day for the community for those who are unable to access the necessary services required for proper health care. The basic medical and dental services that are essential will be provided, along with workshops to educate community members on how to live a healthy life. We hope this would be the first of many, setting a precedent for similar future events. more and more people are left without health insurance, many people are unable to access to the basic services that are essential to every day health. 

We have joined hands with Red Crescent Clinic and Project Downtown-Tampa to adequately facilitate the event to provide the best services we can from doctors and dentists within our own community. Below are details for the types of tests that will be conducted.
