The Orange Bowl Health & Wellness Fair presented by Sunshine Health will take place at Betty T. Ferguson Recreational Complex on Saturday, August 8, 2015, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. More than 60 vendors will provide a variety of services and products including free health screenings, fitness classes, interactive demonstrations and essentials for children heading back to school. Now in its third year, the fair will address the health and medical needs of the South Florida community, encourage youth and families to improve their eating habits and maintain a physically active lifestyle.
Free haircuts, backpacks with school supplies, health screenings—including glucose, blood pressure testing and posture analysis—will be available to all attendees. Sunshine Health, presenting sponsor of the Orange Bowl Health & Wellness Fair, will be one of the many exhibitors providing free information and services. One Beat CPR + AED will provide free CPR sessions throughout the day. More exhibitors and services are being added daily.
