Wellton health fair offers free screenings, vaccines and resources
Wellton packed free screenings, childhood and adult vaccines, and local support services into a two-hour fair at the community center, with English and Spanish outreach.
Free health screenings, vaccines for children and adults, and a table of local help drew Wellton residents to the Wellton Community Center, where the town set up a two-hour Community Health & Resources Fair at 10234 Dome Street. The indoor event ran from 10 a.m. to noon on Thursday, May 21, and the town described it as free and open to all ages.
For families in Wellton and nearby parts of Yuma County, the value was practical: one stop for preventive care, wellness information, educational materials, community resources and support services, without an admission fee or a long drive. The town also said attendees could pick up giveaways and enter raffle prizes, but the core offer was more basic and more useful, putting screenings and vaccines in reach for people who may not regularly get to a clinic.
The Town of Wellton posted the announcement on April 28 and said the fair was meant to bring trusted community organizations and service providers together in one place. That matters in a place where access can depend on transportation, cost and whether people know where to turn for help. The fair’s setup reflected that reality: indoor, free and designed to gather health and social-service connections under one roof instead of sending residents from office to office.
The town listed 928-785-3348 for more information. Its calendar placed the fair in the Main Calendar under Featured Events, and the Yuma County Chamber of Commerce also listed the same date, time and location, reinforcing the details for residents trying to plan ahead.
Campesinos Sin Fronteras promoted the fair as well and said English and Spanish flyers were available, a sign that organizers were trying to reach Wellton’s bilingual community. In Yuma County, where language access can shape who actually uses public-health events, that kind of outreach can determine whether a fair simply gets announced or truly gets used.
By the time the doors opened, the fair had become more than a community gathering. It was a short, direct attempt to close a gap in access, offering screenings, vaccines and referrals in a single morning at the Wellton Community Center.
