Dino’s Barber Studio Hosts 2nd Annual Free Health Fair
Dino’s $6.99 Barber Studio doesn’t just snip your hair and send you on your way – they truly have your well being at heart. This Lansing business will host their 2nd Annual Free Health Fair on Saturday, April 24th from 1-6 p.m. Dino’s created the Health Fair to give back to the community from which they serve and providing access to quality health care for those who lack insurance or financial resources.
“With so many health issues out there, we want to help make the community a little healthier, through behavior modification, lifestyle changes and habits,” said Carlton McConnell, co-owner of Dino’s. “By coming together collectively we can, and will, make a difference in the overall health and well being of our community at large, ourselves, our co-workers, and our loved ones.”
The 2nd Annual Free Health Fair is open to the public, especially the underserved and uninsured. Doctors and health practitioners from a variety of specialties will give their time and talents to afford the community to get checked out, tested for high cholesterol, high blood pressure, HIV, diabetes, prostate cancer, and mental health as well as other vital signs and tests. If necessary, doctors can write prescriptions on-site.
“Undoubtedly, we all have been affected directly or indirectly by one of these terrible but largely preventable diseases,” said McConnell. “This year we will have more health professionals in attendance. We are also increasing our advertising and promotional items to reach a larger audience.”
Booths will be set up both inside the shop and outside in the beautiful spring sunshine. Free food and refreshments will be provided, including fruit, bottled water, and other healthy snacks. Last year, Dino’s was even able to give out 30 free Ingham County health plans to those in attendance.
“Making a living is what we do; making a difference is who we are,” said McConnell. “We look forward to working together to make the difference for so many!”
Dino’s $6.99 Barber Studio is located at 4314 S. Cedar at the corner of Cedar and Cavenaugh. For more information contact Carlton McConnell at 517-394-7087.
