Anaheim, CA, June 08, 2009

When the idea of bringing a free health fair to Anaheim was proposed to City Councilman Harry Sidhu by Pravin Mody of GBS Linens and Dr. Nitin Shah in association with Anekant Community Center, the foundation was laid for what has now become a meaningful, annual city event. For the third year in a row, the City of Anaheim has continued its efforts to encourage healthy living through a meaningful collaboration with supporting partners and sponsors by hosting the Third Annual Free Anaheim Health Fair on Sunday, June 7, 2009, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., at the Brookhurst Community Center.

Among the special invited guests attending the Third Annual Free Anaheim Health Fair were Dr. Ralph Clayman, Dean, School of Medicine, UCI Medical Center, and Dr. Sandor Szabo, Chief of Staff, Long Beach Veterans Administration Healthcare System.

“Services were provided to nearly 400 individuals,” stated Councilman Harry Sidhu, and “special thanks must be given to the many individuals, organizations, and sponsors who joined together to make the Third Annual Free Anaheim Health Fair such a wonderfully successful community event including, but not limited to: Anaheim City Council Member Harry Sidhu, with leadership support from Mayor Curt Pringle; Dr. Nitin Shah, Anekant Community Center, and the over 70 Indo-American doctors who donated their medical services; Pravin Mody of GBS Linens; The City of Anaheim and all of its dedicated, hardworking staff, especially, those in the Community Services Department, City Manager’s Office – External Affairs Division, Office of the Mayor and City Council staff members, and Anaheim Public Utilities Department; The Anaheim Chamber of Commerce staff and board members; Freeman Company; The Clubhouse at Anaheim Hills; The Disneyland Resort; CARE Ambulance; Gardenwalk Hotel One, LLC; Anaheim Disposal; Sally Ann Catering; Northgate Market; and Bagel Me.”

“And, we are especially grateful to the over 100 volunteers who assisted in the event – many from the Cerritos College ‘Project Hope’ group, who donated their time and efforts in the true spirit of community service,” said Councilman Sidhu.

“How honored we are in the City of Anaheim to be hosting this important event for the third year in a row,” explained Councilman Sidhu. “In collaboration with our many wonderful partners and sponsors, we are encouraging good health and healthy living by providing free health services and offering everyone a chance to achieve the highest quality of life. It has been said that ‘the greatest wealth is good health,’ and what a special day this was for the health and well-being of our community.”
