Pueblo Health Expo
The New Year is bringing a new event to the Pueblo community! It is the first
event of this magnitude with emphasis in health, nutrition, fitness, recreation,
safety and overall well being, being presented to the residents of the Pueblo
area. The 2007 Pueblo Health Expo will be held on Sat, Jan 27, 8 am - 3 pm at
the Pueblo Convention Center. Numerous community agencies and organizations
throughout Pueblo have partnered together to present this comprehensive health
fair.
It is anticipated that 500-1,000 participants will be in attendance for the
day-long event. Health screenings, vision screenings and fitness assessments
will be provided at no cost to the community including: Blood Pressure, Pulse
Oximetry, Lung Function, Vision, Blood Sugar, Cardio Step Test, Grip Strength &
Flexibility, Body Mass Index, Stress Management & Depression, Community
Resources & Women’s Health Issues and Ask a Medical Expert. These screenings
will be provided for the first 500 people who register that day. People who wish
to partake in the screenings will need to fast for at least one hour prior to
the screenings for an accurate blood glucose result, and are recommended to wear
comfortable clothing.
There will also be cooking and fitness demonstrations, as well as presenters
speaking on healthy lifestyle topics, including John Register, a former
Para-Olympian, now a motivational speaker. A host of vendor booths will also
promote various services and products available in our community to increase
active and healthy lifestyles.
People of all ages in Pueblo and surrounding communities are invited to
actively participate in the first Pueblo Health Expo by taking advantage of the
free health screenings and abundance of health information. Get active… live
healthy!
