In New Haven, Connecticut this weekend, the 2024 Barnum Festival will be hosting its first-ever Community Health Fair. The event aims to provide increased access to healthcare, screenings, and preventative medicine for the community. Dr. Camelia Lawrence, this year’s Barnum Festival ringmaster and the director of breast surgery at the Hospital of Central Connecticut and Midstate Medical Center shared insights into what attendees can anticipate at the fair.
