The Southwest Community Heath Center on Fairfield Avenue in Bridgeport conducted a health care fair today after being rained out yesterday. I had a chance to talk to Samuel Diaz III about their services. Their goal today was to raise about the services the offer the community whether it be health or dental care. Southwest services all of the greater Bridgeport area (Fairfield and Stratford) and accepts most health insurance including all state insurance like Husky and Medicare and have assistance in signing people up with Access Health CT. Sliding fee scales and financing are available for those. They have locations throughout the area. Contact Southwest Community Health Center at 203.330.6000 or at http://www.swchc.org/
