CMHA Senior Health Fairs at Scranton Castle, Addition Square, Cedar High Rise

Health Fair at Scranton Castle on April 17, 2025. About 22 residents attended the Health Fair. Three residents completed surveys and 8 signed up for more information. Thanks to CWRU Med School for hosting the event.

March 20, 2025. Addison Square residents had a health fair on Thursday. Great turn out. Five sign-ups and six CMHA Resident surveys! Many guests at our table told us they would share this leadsafe info with their children who have children. A couple senior residents brought the grands to the table.

Tenant Sponsored Events at Ambleside Tower and King Kennedy Town Houses

On June 18, 2025, Ambleside Towers Local Advisory Council hosted CLASH for a lead presentation. About 40 tenants and 10 CMHA staff attended the two hour event...which included lunch. Fifteen of the attendees filled out Resident surveys. Spencer explained that since Ambleside was built in 1978, the year that lead was outlawed in paint, there is a presumption that the building is free of paint hazards. But paint is not the only source of lead. Advocates need to be conscious of lead in pipes, soil (from leaded gasoline) and air pollution. Rev. Wade recounted stories of lead impacts on the children in Lakeview and the connection between childhood lead poisoning and adolescent interactions with law enforcement.
