Community Health Outreach Flyer

What a good one includes

• A warm, benefit-driven headline that focuses on community well-being rather than clinical or administrative jargon.
• Clear, prominent logistical details covering the exact date, time, physical address, and nearby public transit options or parking information.
• A bulleted list of the specific free services, screenings, or giveaways participants will receive so they know exactly what to expect.
• An explicit reassurance regarding eligibility, confirming if ID or health insurance is required or if all residents are welcome regardless of status.
• Accessibility notes, including details about wheelchair access, available childcare, and bilingual staff or translation services.
• A single, direct call to action with a phone number, website, or QR code for those who need to register or ask questions.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Cluttering the flyer with too much clinical terminology or medical jargon that intimidates or confuses the average reader.
• Failing to clearly state whether the event requires pre-registration, health insurance, or a fee, which creates unnecessary barriers to entry.
• Neglecting to offer the flyer text in the primary languages spoken by the target local neighborhood.
• Omitting contact information or a clear way for people with mobility issues or anxiety to ask clarifying questions beforehand.
