Another feature of the Healthy and Wellness Expo is the "Screening Zone". For just 10 Wellness Dollars you may choose to participate in a variety of health screenings. This year's screenings will include:

Donated prizes will be raffled off throughout the day, like massages, designer eye wear and fitness apparel. There's something for everyone. Join us for a great day with a new HEALTHY U!
