In a collaborative effort, a community-based participatory research approach was used to address the holistic health needs of a community while including a multilanguage view, a faith-based organization, The Legacy Center Community Development Corporation, and several health agencies partnered in organizing and conducting a health fair in West Central Queens. Health awareness and health promotion activities were provided through presentations, health screenings, and education materials (on diabetes, hypertension, nutrition, cholesterol, and heart disease). To meet the needs of community and/or faith-based organization members, translation services were available: nurses translated for non-English-speaking participants in Spanish, Mandarin, or Cantonese, and sign language interpreters used American Sign Language to translate for deaf participants.
通过合作，采用基于社区的参与性研究方法来满足社区的整体健康需求，同时纳入多语言视角，一个基于信仰的组织、遗产中心社区发展公司以及几家卫生机构合作在皇后区中西部组织并举办了一场健康博览会。通过讲座、健康筛查和教育材料（关于糖尿病、高血压、营养、胆固醇和心脏病）开展健康意识和健康促进活动。为满足社区和/或基于信仰的组织成员的需求，提供了翻译服务：护士为非英语参与者提供西班牙语、普通话或粤语翻译，手语翻译员使用美国手语为聋人参与者进行翻译。
