UTHealth Houston Cares Health Fair Attendees
The impact of community health initiatives was powerfully demonstrated on Saturday, March 22, at UTHealth Houston Cares, a student-led health fair in its sixth year. Sixteen-year-old Sarahi Perla confirmed what she suspected – blindness in one eye – through an examination she might never have otherwise received. Despite this significant diagnosis, Sarahi’s enthusiasm remained high as she also took advantage of dental screenings.
