Healthy Communities Partnership promotes walking at the Wellness Expo

[February 09, 2016]   LINCOLN - The Logan County Department of Public Health, Lincoln Park District, and Healthy Communities Partnership are excited to invite the public to the free Wellness Expo on Saturday, February 20 from 9:00am – 1:00pm at the Lincoln Park District.

“Healthy Communities Partnership is thrilled to bring health-inspiring events to Logan County,” said Angela Stoltzenburg, HCP manager. “We anticipate that the 2016 Wellness Expo will be the biggest health promotion event in Logan County history. With a variety of free screenings and fun things for the family, there will be no better way to spend February 20.”

HCP is sponsoring a free 65 foot inflatable obstacle course for all ages and will be encouraging people to increase their physical activity levels by “taking their brains on a walk”. The HCP display will feature the health benefits of taking just a 20-minute walk every day. Attendees who visit the HCP booth can enter to win a Fitbit Charge HR which monitors steps, heart rate, calories and more.

HCP is funded by the Abraham Lincoln Memorial Hospital Foundation. If you would like information about the Wellness Expo, contact Emily Hauter at the Logan County Department of Public Health at 217-735-2317 ext. 235 for more information or LIKE “Wellness Expo Logan County“ on Facebook.
