Our mission
Who this fair is for
HAPA is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit uniting pharmacists and allied health professionals to promote public health through education in underserved communities.
Because most of our members are Haitian, we serve the Haitian community exceptionally well — and this fair is open to and intended for every underserved person within reach of North Miami. Care, handouts, and conversation are available in English and Haitian Creole.
Together, building a healthier community.
In partnership with
- Girl Scout Troop 1040
- AIDS Healthcare Foundation
- Stanton Memorial Baptist Church
