Prattville health fair offers free screenings, family activities Saturday
Free medical screenings and wellness information drew Prattville families to Doster Community Center, with more than 40 groups adding music, bingo and a children’s art station.
Free medical screenings and wellness information gave Prattville residents a no-cost way to check on their health at One Community Outreach United’s annual Community Health Fair at Doster Community Center on South Northington Street.
The fair was held Saturday, May 30, from 9 a.m. to noon at 424 S. Northington Street, and more than 40 businesses and organizations were expected to take part. Along with screenings and wellness information, the event included door prizes, live music, bingo and a children’s art station, turning the morning into both a health stop and a family outing.
For seniors, uninsured residents and anyone who tends to put off preventive care, the setup offered a practical shortcut. A visit to the fair could point people toward services they may need later, without the immediate cost of a clinic appointment. Carolyn O’Bryan-Miller said the event mattered because it reached people who might not otherwise have easy access to screenings or preventive care, and the family-friendly pieces were meant to make attendance easier for every age group.
The community health fair also fit into a broader network of local care in Autauga County. The Autauga County Health Department in Prattville provides WIC, environmental health, home care and clinical services, including STD testing and treatment, family planning, childhood and other vaccines, and breast and cervical cancer screening. For residents who need a first step before scheduling follow-up care, a free fair like this can help connect them to services already available in the county.
One Community Outreach United’s role went beyond a single Saturday event. The nonprofit says it focuses on civic and social betterment, with educational programs, guidance and resources aimed at developing leaders and strengthening communities. Its event archive also lists an OCOU 2025 Health Fair at the same Doster Community Center address on Saturday, May 17, 2025, from 9 a.m. to noon, showing that the Prattville health fair has become part of an ongoing outreach effort rather than a one-time gathering.
