Specifically, those expected to be part of the health fair include Massachusetts Behavioral Health Help Line, University of Massachusetts Kinesiology, Christopher Heights, Hospice of the Fisher Home, MedMinder, Mass General Brigham/Cooley Dickinson Hospital, Highland Valley Elder Services and Health New England.
