This past weekend, our interCultural Online Health Network (iCON) project was proud to be a part of Health Fair BC, an event for the Chinese-speaking community that saw many people come for lectures, exhibits and free health tests, sponsored by social service agency S.U.C.C.E.S.S.
Filling the Wosk auditorium at the Jewish Community Centre, attendees of the iCON event heard a number of presentations on Understanding Stroke in Cantonese with simultaneous translation available in Mandarin.
Many thanks to the supporters of this iCON event, including the BC Ministry of Health, Vancouver Coastal Health, Fraser Health, Interior Health, Northern Health, Provincial Health Services Authority, Chinese Canadian Medical Society, SUCCESS, Safeway Pharmacy, Fairchild Television, Talentvision, and OMNI Diversity Television.
For our Chinese readers, Ming Pao Daily News reported on the event as well.
