Students planning reproductive health fair at Mobile community center

To build more awareness about reproductive health among area residents, medical students interested in obstetrics and gynecology are planning a health fair on Saturday, April 5, from 1 to 5 p.m. at the James Seals Community Center, 540 Texas St.

Topics to be covered include menstrual health, reproductive health and anatomy, breast cancer and cervical cancer screenings, plus sexually transmitted illness (STI) education and prevention, mental health, safety and more. 

Students from the Whiddon College of Medicine, in partnership with USA Health OB-GYN and the City of Mobile Parks and Recreation, are hosting the event.   

During the health fair, at least two specialty classes will be offered to participants. A women's self-defense class will be hosted by Corey Richardson from Gulf Coast Jiu Jitsu.  

Those who attend can also take part in a high-intensity, low-impact resistance bands workout with dance-fitness instructor Kristen Alyce. 

The public is invited to join medical students, physicians, other members of the medical team and specialized services to learn about reproductive health topics at this event.
