Community Wellness Expo

October 27th

New Germany Rural High School Gymnasium

10:00a.m. - 2:00p.m.

New Germany Area Promotion Society will be hosting/sponsoring a community wellness expo on Oct 27 at the New Germany Rural High School gymnasium from 10:00 - 2:00.  This will be a great, and rare opportunity for members of our community and surrounding areas to gather and gain valuable information about their health and wellness.  People of all ages will benefit from this expo. Health providers and services will be on hand to talk about how they are a part of a healthy community:  promoting healthy living, good physical, mental, and spiritual health.  Hopefully, addressing all of the health determinants.  There will be unique opportunities to gather information specific to your concerns through one-on-one discussions, presentations and demonstrations. Included in this expo will be representatives from immediate area health resources, nutrition and dietary services, sports and leisure, addiction counseling services, physio and occupational therapists, sexual health, mobility (VON Bus, Active Transportation), Teen Place and the Red Cross, just to name a few.

It is anticipated that there will be 40+ booths. .

Take advantage of this great opportunity!  Admission is FREE and open to everyone.

  2. employment 
  3. education 
  4. social environments 
  5. physical environments 
  6. healthy child development 
  7. personal health practices and coping skills

We hope to have representatives from each of the above determinants involved in this Expo.
