Health Fairs

The Mitchell Wolfson Sr. Department of Community Service (DOCS)
DOCS health fairs bring medical services and screenings to underserved members of our community. Everyone is welcome. Our students and physicians work together to examine each patient, as well as interpret and explain the results of the tests performed. Patients are counseled on proper diet and exercise regimens and engaged in conversation about the necessary aspects of a healthy lifestyle.

Furthermore, DOCS works with physicians and community partners to provide patients with a connection to local resources that can be accessed year-round.  Using a referral system to free or low-cost clinics, DOCS serves as a portal of entry to care for those patients identified to be at risk. We continue to look for ways to improve screenings and services at our health fairs, and we welcome support from community partners to proceed with serving the Greater Miami Area to the best of our ability for years to come.

Our overarching mission is to promote health equity in the greater Miami community, ensuring that everyone, regardless of socioeconomic status, has access to the healthcare services they deserve.
