On Saturday, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., the community of San Antonio will have the opportunity to come together for a wellness fair hosted by UT Health San Antonio’s substance use treatment initiative, Be Well Texas. The event, which is free to attend, will feature an array of wellness activities, services, and resources designed to educate and inform the community about their health and wellbeing.

The guest speaker at the event will be State Rep. Elizabeth “Liz” Campos from District 119, who will deliver a speech that is sure to inspire attendees to take charge of their health and wellness journey.

There will be plenty of activities for everyone at the fair, including Zumba and HIIT workout sessions led by local fitness instructors, group meditation sessions led by certified meditation instructors, and door prizes given away throughout the day. Local community and wellness organizations will also be on hand to provide all-day activities for attendees to participate in.

In addition to physical activities, there will be numerous health screenings available at the fair. These include substance use screenings by Be Well Texas, wellness health checks by UT Health San Antonio School of Nursing, vision screenings by Lions Sight Research Foundation, HIV and STI testing by Alamo Area Resource Center, and diabetic screenings by District 2-A2 Lions Clubs.

Attendees can also expect to receive free medical screenings throughout the day. The San Antonio Food Bank will be distributing food items while Therapy Animals of San Antonio provide pet therapy services for those in need. Overdose reversal training and naloxone distribution will also take place during the fair as part of efforts to combat opioid abuse in our community.
