Photos: Lena Cymbrowitz Health Fair Makes Health Services Info Accessible

The tenth annual Lena Cymbrowitz Community Health Fair was a roaring success this past Sunday, drawing scores of health-conscious residents for a day of free screenings, giveaways and health related information.

Assemblyman Steven Cymbrowitz organizes the event every year in honor of his late wife Lena, who preceded him in his Assembly seat and passed away in 2000 after a long battle with cancer. The event raised funds for Dynamite Youth Center.

Taking place on Emmons Avenue between East 15th Street and Ocean Avenue, the fair was sponsored by Cymbrowitz and Maimonides Medical Center, Beth Israel – Brooklyn, and Kiwanis International.

While adults visited dozens of tables featuring information from various area health services, children were amused by Zippy the Clown, doling out balloon sculptures.

“I was pleased to see so many members of the community take advantage of the free screenings, giveaways and health-related information available at the fair,”  Cymbrowitz said in a press release. “It was great to meet so many residents and to be able to bring all these great organizations and sponsors together in one place for the benefit of the community.”
