Many Monmouth And Ocean County Residents Don’t Have Access To Preventative Healthcare. A Free Event In Long Branch Today Hopes To Change That


The health fair at the Monmouth Family Health Center on Broadway Avenue in Long Branch from 2pm until 5pm will be an opportunity for people without health insurance to find out about the services that are available to them says center Spokeswoman Beatriz Oesterheld.

“We sign up the children whose families don’t have insurance for New Jersey Kids Care,” says Oesterheld.

She says the fair will also include dental, vision and skin cancer screenings as well as HIV testing.

Oesterheld says about 300 people attended the event last year.

The health fair is in celebration of National Health Center Week that runs through august 15th.
