Summary

The Beaver Island Rural Health Center announced a free health fair for December 1, 2016, offering blood-glucose, cholesterol, and hemoglobin tests, blood pressure checks, EKGs, and health information. Afterward BIRHC thanked attendees and said it would contact people who could not wait to be seen.

Evidence limits

The first-party notices establish the planned services and date, not attendance totals, individual results, or clinical outcomes. The follow-up does establish that the organizer reported demand exceeding the available wait-time for at least some visitors.
