And it will have a special focus — local fishermen and their families.

Gloucester's first Fishing Families and Friends Health & Safety Day is slated to run from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., and will feature health screenings and health information on such issues as ultra-violet screening, smoking cessation, prostate screening, diabetes, blood pressure and cholesterol screenings.

The event will also provide services on body mass and bone density screenings, pain management, Hepatitis A & B vaccinations, tetanus and H1N1 shots, HIV & Hepatitis C testing, stress management, posture and balance screening and health insurance information and sign up.
