Community Turns Out for A Day of Health and Fun

HIGH SPRINGS ‒ Palms Medical Group welcomed local families and residents on Saturday, April 5, 2025, for a community health fair at its High Springs location, offering free health services, family activities, and a chance to connect with local organizations.

Held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., the event featured over 25 vendors, complimentary health screenings for all ages, and a visit from the Alachua County Sheriff’s Office helicopter, which was a highlight for many attendees.

Over the course of the day, Palms facilitated 35 mammograms and numerous other health screenings, providing many attendees with services they might not have otherwise received.

“We are honored to have had the opportunity to host this health fair,” said Anita Rembert, CEO of Palms Medical Group. “We jump at any opportunity to get together as a healthcare organization and rally around our friends and neighbors. It’s in our mission: to enhance the health and wellbeing of our communities.”

In addition to medical services, the event offered family-friendly activities and opportunities for residents to engage with healthcare and wellness providers in a relaxed setting. Organizers say the health fair will become an annual tradition.
