Plans for the 2018 Wellness Expo include free inflatables for
children of all ages, a variety of free health screenings, recycling
opportunities, interactive exhibits, great prizes, giveaways, cooking
demonstration, and much more. Healthcare career information and a healthy kids
cooking activity will be new to the event this year.
“Go, Slow and Whoa Your Way to Health” is the theme of this year’s event
building on the Coordinated Approach to Child Health (CATCH) messaging that is
currently in over 15 area schools. The “Go, Slow, and Whoa” terminology teaches
students about different types of foods that should be eaten all the time,
sometimes and only every once awhile.
