Health Fair at Bronx House

 

Sunday there was a mammogram Van parked outside Bronx House, and eight tables set up inside with various vendors which included Montefiore Medical Group, Blue Cross, Union Community Health Care, Unlimited Progress with Purpose and Care, Community Board 11, and Councilwoman Marjorie Velazquez who was sponsoring the event. 

In speaking to the vendors, Paul from Unlimited Progress with Purpose and Care said he had no one come in with a wheelchair needing fixing while others being nice, said it was slow. A sign in sheet I saw had less than ten names on it. Seeing Councilwoman Velazquez seated at her table I asked her where she lived since I have seen two different addresses for her, one in Country Club as her primary residence on a mortgage from October 2021, and another from the Board of Elections with her primary residence other than the Country Club address. Councilwoman Velazquez ignored me and after being ignored again after asking a second time I walked away knowing I was not going to get an answer.
