About
The Great Gator Health Fest (GGHF) is an annual community health education and wellness event hosted by the University of Florida American Pharmacists Association Academy of Student Pharmacists (APhA-ASP). As one of UF's largest student-led health outreach events, GGHF brings together student pharmacists, students from other health professions, and members of the Gainesville community to promote accessible health education, disease prevention, and overall wellness.
In collaboration with more than 20 student organizations across the UF College of Pharmacy, the event offers free blood pressure and blood glucose screenings, interactive health education activities, and wellness resources covering a wide range of health-related topics.
GGHF also promotes interprofessional collaboration, with participation from students in Medicine, Veterinary Medicine, Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, and Pharmacy. The event provides an opportunity for students to apply their developing clinical and communication skills while engaging directly with the community.
GGHF is free and open to the UF and greater Gainesville communities, with the goal of promoting health awareness, encouraging preventive care, and connecting individuals with valuable health resources.
