Men from across the Wiregrass showed up to the Dothan Civic Center Friday morning to get their health checked free of charge at Southeast Health's 30th annual Men's Health Fair.

“We kind of brought the doctor to you,” Gloria Biddings, health education coordinator at Southeast Health, said “People got the chance to meet a lot of staff that works at the hospital and talk to so many other people in the community that offer free services. It was great to see people come out and take advantage of this free stuff.”

Biddings said the results from these screenings are mailed to the individual, and if something is off, they will be recommended to seek further medical treatment.

Biddings was glad to see the variety as it shows everyone should be taking their health seriously.

Southeast Health decided to create this fair due to a stigma surrounding men not wanting to go to the doctor, and for people who may not be able to afford a visit to the doctor’s office.
