DAYTON, Ohio ( WDTN ) — A community health festival will offer free health screenings on Friday.

The Groove and Grow Health Extravaganza will take place from 3 to 6 p.m. on April 19. The event will offer free health screenings to Dayton-area residents to raise awareness for Minority Health Month.

Families can attend the event for free at the Hope Center for Families, located at 1816 Harvard Blvd., Dayton.

At Groove and Grow, residents can speak with health professionals about diabetes, blood pressure, immunizations and more. Alongside health screenings, the event will also include raffles, prizes, snacks, music, and a bounce house.

The event is hosted by Omega Community Development Corporation, in partnership with Dayton Children’s Hospital, Mini University, Sinclair College and the Wright State University Boonshoft School of Medicine.

In 2022, Omega CDC was awarded a nearly $29 million Promise Neighborhood grant by the Department of Education to support programs and initiatives to eliminate intergenerational poverty in underserved communities.
