Glendale, Calif. - The Armenian American Medical Society of California held its annual health fair at Saint Mary's Armenian Church in Glendale. The AAMSC Ladies Auxiliary, the Armenian American Nurses Association, and the Los Angeles County Office of Women's Health were awarded plaques of appreciation in recognition of their dedication to the success of AAMSC's health fair and community outreach.

A special presentation was made to John Krikorian, of Krikorian Marketing Group, who received a plaque that read, "In recognition of your selfless dedication to the success of AAMSC's Health Fair and in appreciation of your collaborative efforts to benefit the community at large."

Zarmine Naccashian, RN, coordinator of the Diabetes Care Center, Glendale Adventist Medical Center, also received special mention. She is widely regarded as the backbone of AAMSC's annual Health Fair.

In its 18th running, the annual Health Fair is targeted to members of the community who cannot afford health insurance or fall short of being eligible for government aid. The event is primarily a preventive case service, and provides services, brings specialists, and connects attendants to resources available within their local community year round.
