The East Hampton Healthcare Foundation is sponsoring a health fair Friday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the meeting room of St. Luke's Episcopal Church on James Lane.

Attendees can get flu vaccinations and blood pressure screenings, make appointments for mammograms, PAP smears, colorectal screenings, and learn about testing for H.I.V. and hepatitis C. A nutrition educator will be on hand, as will a representative from Organizacion Latino-Americana, who will talk about that nonprofit's programs.

People can also get help applying for the supplemental nutrition assistance program and learn about options for health insurance coverage.
