The health fair, which honors Denzel Davis, a former Stillman student who passed away on Oct. 28, 2018, after contracting viral bronchitis, lifts barriers of cost and location for both students and West End residents. The health fair was held first in 2019 but has been on hiatus due to COVID-19.

Five Horizons Health Services will do saliva swabs to test for HIV/AIDS, as well as other STDs, as the health fair. Condoms will also be distributed.

Other agencies participating include:

Stillman alumna Dr. Keisha Lowther, a primary care doctor in Tuscaloosa and chief medical officer of Whatley Health Services, will deliver the keynote address at the Denzel Davis Memorial Health Fair.
