2013 Cleveland Asian Festival: Focus on Health

Celebrate Asian Pacific American Heritage Month by joining thousands of
people from across the state of Ohio at the 4th Annual Cleveland Asian
Festival (CAF) on Saturday, May 18th and Sunday, May 19th, 2013. 

In 2010, the inaugural year, Cleveland Scene Magazine praised CAF as the
"Best New Ethnic Festival". In 2011 and 2012 the festival drew over 30,000
and 40,000 attendees, respectively, and is bound to attract even more
attention this spring.

 

While the Festival's offerings have evolved since 2010, the Health Pavilion
has drawn a crowd from the beginning. CAF organizers are proud to announce
that they are once again partnering with The Cleveland Clinic, University
Hospitals, MetroHealth, St. Vincent Charity Medical Center, and Kaiser
Permanente to provide free services.

 

The Health Pavilion is held indoors on the first floor of Asia Plaza and is
universally accessible. Tables will be staffed Saturday and Sunday from 11am
to 5pm with knowledgeable, local health professionals including specialists
in arthritis, heart, sleep disorders, wellness, and general internal
medicine.  

 

Free health screenings and education is available to all festival goers
without discrimination. Bilingual interpreters will be available to assist
in translations and Asian Services in Action will be on hand to assist the
community with access to social and health services.

 

Screenings including blood-pressure, bone density, cholesterol, and glucose
are geared towards adults, however the popular test for lead levels will be
offered to children. All screenings will be provided free of charge. 

 

An appointment is not necessary for most services; however, free Mammograms
are available by appointment only on May 18th. You must be over 40 years of
age and have either NO Insurance or Medicare, Medicaid or Caresource to
register. For more information or questions, please contact Sujata @
