Children and adults can get free medical testing at a health fair Sunday in the Koreatown district of Los Angeles.

Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Walgreens and local churches are sponsoring the health fair, which will include immunizations for children. Adults can get screenings for glaucoma, high blood pressure and bad glucose and cholesterol readings.

The Cedars-Sinai Samuel Oschin Comprehensive Cancer Institute will offer breast cancer detection techniques, and the dental team will offer free dental screenings.

A blood drive will also be conducted.
