EVANSTON, IL.The McGaw YMCA Residence Team hosted a Men’s Health Fair on June 16 in celebration of Men’s Health Month. The event, which was themed, “Self-care IS Health Care,” included community partners and was open to all residents who live at the McGaw Y.

The Health Fair included an interactive workshop focused on both mental and physical health. The Y partnered with health and wellness experts Megan Vazquez from the North Suburban YMCA, Cedric Bussie from Trilogy Inc, and McGaw Y’s Health & Fitness Manager Alyson Mann to present engaging self-care topics that can be incorporated into daily routines. Alivio Medical Center was in attendance to provide wellness resources.

Over 25 McGaw Y resident members participated in the health fair. During the event, lunch was provided in kind by local business, Panino’s Pizzeria Evanston.

“Good health is a combination of small, intentional actions that address a person’s mental and physical needs,” said Roland Fouché, Sr. Director of Housing at McGaw YMCA. “Our goal is to provide the community resources that our residents ask for, and this fair exemplifies that. We intend to make this an annual event, with plans to expand partnerships each year.”
