Proviso East High School Annual Student Health Fair – 2016 March 30-31

Hi All,

 Each year, the School-based Health Center (SBHC) at Proviso East High School in Maywood sponsors a two-day health fair in which ALL 1,800 high school students attend.  The purpose of the health fair is to educate students about health and safety topics that are relevant to their age group.  The health fair is an interprofessional event staffed jointly by community partners and the Loyola community. It is consistent with the University’s mission of reaching out to underserved populations and promoting social justice. Plus it is a lot of fun!   We could not put on this very important annual health fair for adolescents without the support of  Loyola students, faculty and staff.

We are seeking creative and committed undergraduate and graduate nursing students, dietetic students, HSM students, medical students and residents, public health students, social work students and exercise science students to participate.   Please contact Addie Van Zwoll  LCSW  (avanzwo@luc.edu ; 708-449-9523) if interested in creating a booth or other type of interactive experience for adolescents.

Who:  Undergraduate and Graduate nursing, dietetic , HSM, Social Work, Exercise Science , Public health , Medical Students/Residents and their Faculty mentors

What:  Proviso East High School Annual Student Health Fair

When:  March 30, 2016 (Wednesday) & March 31, 2016 (Thursday) from 7:30am-3:30pm; please note–we are asking for a minimum of 1 day commitment (two days is great, but I understand that this may not be possible)

Where:  Proviso East High School-807 S. 1st Ave Maywood, IL–FIELD HOUSE

Why:  Why not? This is an opportunity to put your knowledge, creativity and communication skills to use and educate students at Proviso East High School.  The students are extremely interested in learning and are typically engaged in the process. When else would you have an opportunity to interact meaningfully with 1000 teenagers in one day? Whew!

 How:  

  1. Inform Addie Van Zwoll (SBHC Social Worker) that you are interested in participating   avanzwo@luc.edu or 708-449-9523
  2. Pick a health related topic and create a fun an interactive display/poster. Ask about the many health education interactive props and displays we already have available on your topic.
  3. Be present for at least one out of the two days of the health fair.
  4. Coordinate with other Loyola students
    1. Another Loyola student may be paired with you for the duration of the day
    2. Another Loyola student may be coordinating with you to cover your topic/booth on the day that you will not be there (I have two groups of undergraduate nursing students who will be present on Wednesday, 3/30/16; I need GRADUATE students for Thursday, 3/31/16).
