Health Screenings

Our nursing staff will provide free health assessments that include checking vital signs, reviewing medical history, and discussing current medications. These assessments can help identify potential health concerns, provide an opportunity to ask questions, and offer guidance on managing existing health conditions. Our goal is to help individuals better understand their health and make informed decisions about their well-being.

Infection Control

Preventing the spread of infection is one of the simplest and most effective ways to protect yourself and others. Participants will learn about proper handwashing, the appropriate use of hand sanitizer, respiratory hygiene, and everyday practices that reduce the spread of germs. Our team will also provide education on recognizing common signs of infection, understanding when to seek medical attention, and taking simple precautions to stay healthy. Hand sanitizers will be available to take..

Mental Health

Mental health is an important part of overall wellness. Our team will offer confidential screenings for depression, suicide risk, and other mental health concerns in a supportive, nonjudgmental environment. Participants will have an opportunity to discuss emotional well-being, recognize signs of mental distress, learn healthy coping strategies, and receive information about available community resources and support services.

Sleep and Stress

Quality sleep and effective stress management play an important role in both physical and mental health. Our team will discuss how inadequate sleep and ongoing stress can affect mood, concentration, energy levels, and overall well-being. Participants will learn practical techniques for improving sleep habits, managing everyday stress, recognizing signs of emotional exhaustion, and developing healthy routines that support better rest and resilience.

Nutrition and Hydration

Good nutrition and proper hydration are essential to maintaining health, preventing illness, and supporting daily activities. Our team will provide practical education on balanced meals, healthy food choices, portion sizes, and the importance of drinking enough water. We will also discuss affordable ways to improve nutrition, recognize signs of dehydration, and develop healthier eating habits using foods and resources that are readily available. Healthy snacks and bottled water will be provided.

Cold Weather Health and Safety

Cold weather can present serious health risks, particularly for individuals who have limited access to adequate clothing, heating, or shelter. Our team will provide education on preventing hypothermia, frostbite, and other cold-related illnesses, including recognizing early warning signs and knowing when to seek help. Participants will also learn practical ways to stay warm, dress appropriately, maintain hydration, and reduce the risks associated with prolonged exposure to freezing temperatures.

Who is PrimeCare Medical of New York, and Why this Event?

PrimeCare Medical of New York, Inc. currently provides health care services to the incarcerated population at the Genesee, Monroe, Livingston, and Orleans County Jails. As a health care organization serving individuals who often come from medically vulnerable populations, we believe our commitment to improving health extends beyond the walls of the correctional facilities in which we work. We recognize that our success is closely connected to the health and well-being of the communities we serve, and we are committed to supporting initiatives that improve access to health education, preventive services, and community resources.

By bringing health information and resources directly into the community, we hope to reach individuals who may experience geographic, financial, transportation, or other barriers to accessing traditional health care services.

PrimeCare Medical of New York is staffing the event with registered nurses and social workers. Our intent is not to replace primary or ongoing medical care, but rather to provide an accessible opportunity for screening, education, early identification of potential health concerns, and connection to available services.

Thank You to our Partners and Sponsors

An event of this magnitude does not just happen. It requires the collective effort, coordination, and generosity of organizations and individuals who desire to make a positive difference in our community. From planning and preparation to providing services and contributing essential resources, each one plays an important role in bringing this event to life. More importantly, their involvement reflects an understanding that access to health information, preventive services, and community resources should not be limited by an individual’s financial circumstances or other barriers to care.
