(Decatur, Georgia) Today Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney announces that she will participate as the special guest during the 5th Annual International Health Fair on July 27, 2002 at Georgia Perimeter College, located at 555 North Indian Creek Drive in Clarkston, Georgia. This event is sponsored by the Coalition of Concerned Africans in conjunction with Complementary Alternative Medical Association, DeKalb Board of Health, and Georgia Perimeter College Department of Nursing.

The International Health Fair offers the services of local hospitals, physicians, pharmaceutical companies and other medical professionals and service organizations. Congresswoman McKinney says, "The health fair will make much needed services like back-to-school immunizations, health screenings, HIV testing, and nutrition education available at no cost to the growing immigrant and refugee communities in DeKalb County and neighboring communities."

The health fair is open to the public. "I am eager to participate in the International Health Fair because anything I can do to bring attention to the health concerns of those in our community who are uninsured or lack access to quality health care will in turn improve their overall quality of life," stated Congresswoman McKinney."
