United to Serve community health fair draws strong turnout
If the United to Serve Health Fair at nearby Thomas J. Rusk Middle School had required a ticket to attend, it would have been considered a sellout.
More than 800 people registered at the front desk of United to Serve, jamming the middle school’s halls from the health fair’s 9 a.m. opening until its 2 p.m. closing. The event, which students from UT Southwestern’s three schools plan and staff with assistance from faculty members and staffers across campus, is a community outreach initiative in its 14th year at the Dallas middle school on Inwood Road.
