High School Health Fairs. Manual for Conducting Medical Examinations for Students in a Large Urban High School.
Fleming, Lily; And Others
This report focuses on the Brandeis Health Fair. In June, 1970, Mrs. Lily Fleming, a young black woman was assigned by the New York Life Insurance Company to serve as a full-time project associate in the Brandeis High School partnership program sponsored by the Economic Development Council (EDC) of New York City. Soon after arriving at Brandeis, she undertook the task of trying to improve the health of students at Brandeis. A conference of the Social Studies Department on November 8, 1971 gave impetus to the idea of a health project, and the minutes recommended that EDC and the school work together to start a health program. The first of a series of planning meetings was held in December, with representation from school departments, EDC, and the Department of Health of New York. The date set for the Health Fair was the week of April 17, which gave the planning group five months to put together the whole program, including plans for follow-up procedures after the Fair. The decision was made to devote three days to the testing of students in Grades ten through 12 in the main building and two days for testing the ninth grade in the Annex. This turned out to be an appropriate decision, since the number of students who took tests in the ninth grade was as large as the total number of students tested in the other three grades combined.
