Fifth Annual OPRF Chamber of Commerce Health and Wellness Fair, 3/10/19

Several years ago, a couple of members of the OPRF Chamber of Commerce, along with our previous Executive Director, came up with the idea of a health and wellness fair to highlight the unique and local health and wellness offerings in our area. This small project has now grown to the point that it is at its third location (we outgrew the other two) and is expected to draw over 900 visitors. One hundred vendors, free classes, snacks, children's activities, and screenings will all be offered this Sunday. This include the Foot and Ankle Screenings that I will be offering again this year! Come visit us, this Sunday, March 10, 2019, from 11-3 at FFC Oak Park. Please see the press release below for more information!
