NBIAA & “Dil Se” – Medtronic CVIR

is proud to coordinate a Health Fair focused on Diabetes and Coronary disease. This Health Fair is sponsored by Abbott Laboratories, Medtronic, Pfizer and the Northern California Medical Associates. Since Diabetes and Coronary disease has a very high prevalence in the Indian community, and is the leading cause of death and disability amongst people of Indian descent, we recommend that everyone, regardless of age attend this event.
