The free event is made possible by the Stillman College Office of Student Development, along with community health and wellness agencies.

The health fair honors Denzel Davis — a former Stillman student who passed away on Oct. 28, 2018 after contracting viral bronchitis. The goal of the health fair is to help lift barriers of health care costs and location for both students and West End residents.

Stillman College says more than 30 million people nationwide live without health insurance, which can lead to lack of preventative care and illnesses or conditions going untreated, particularly for African-Americans.

In an effort to help those without insurance, Tuscaloosa-area residents are invited to learn more about finding affordable insurance coverage, along with access to free or reduced-fee services at the health fair.

Stillman College said the following entities will be on hand to provide various health screenings, tests, and consultations:

• Pickens County Community Action COVID-19 Vaccine Access Program & Vaccine Equity Project
• Tuscaloosa VA Medical Center
• DCH Health System
• VITAL - VA based program
• Truth Initiative
• All of Us Research Program - UA
• Five Spot
• Sickle Cell Association
• Enroll Alabama
