Virginia Muslim nonprofit center to hold annual free health fair

TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - The Adams Compassionate Healthcare Network (ACHN), a nonprofit arm of the All Dulles Area Muslim Society, will be holding its annual health fair on September 29, 2018, at the ACHN Clinic in Chantilly, Virginia.

"This will be our fifth annual health fair," the clinic manager Muhammad Nabeel Hasan told.

The clinic was first inaugurated in November 2013 to help people of low income get free medical services.
In this year’s event, Hasan revealed that more services were arranged to help patients and visitors at no cost.

"This years' free services include lipid panels, hepatitis testing, blood sugar testing, blood pressure checks, mammograms, vision and hearing exams, eyeglass prescriptions for adults and children as well as flu shots,'' he said.
''We will also have multiple vendors that will be providing information about community resources."

This years' health fair is sponsored by Anthem HealthKeepers Plus, an MCO that provides insurance to Medicaid recipients.
