TAMPA, Fla. — A summer health fair was held Sunday in Tampa to give people free health screenings and more.
The fair was supported by the University Area CDC and hosted by the Victor Crist Community Center.

People were screened to see if they were diabetic, and disaster resources were available, too.
“People who don’t have insurance, they can still get assistance at USF. So we’re letting people know of resources like that, definitely think you should check it out,” said Julian Gines, community engagement and outreach manager.
More than a dozen area medical businesses and agencies helped sponsor the fair.
“You know, it might just be time we take a look if HOAs are really even necessary.
Maybe we should just do away with homeowner associations as a whole.”
South Florida lawmaker Rep. Juan Carlos Porras (R-Miami) says it may be time to do away with homeowners associations altogether, as more Floridians speak out about rising fees, costly lawsuits, and even arrests tied to HOA disputes. He said this week that he is considering filing legislation in the next session that would abolish HOAs statewide.
