Outreach: Mobile Outreach Health Resource Fair
Our Mobile Health Resource Fairs (MOHRFs) are designed to engage residents within their community. To achieve this, we select centralized and convenient locations that minimize transportation challenges for older adults.
Recognizing that older adults have diverse needs and concerns, the MOHRF goals include raising awareness about specific concerns of older adult populations and identifying corresponding resource providers to present information about and address these concerns.
If you want to learn more or participate in one of our MOHRF, please reach out to us at IEA@clemson.edu.
