The WorkPlace’s Health Career Academy is hosting a community health fair on October 29 from 11am-3pm at Cesar Batalla School in Bridgeport. Join the 2016 Healthier You Resource Fair to learn more about living well with health screenings, wellness programs, food and nutrition information, fitness tips, health providers, children’s activities and more.

Admission is free to the fair. Additionally, there is no charge for companies or organizations offering healthcare, wellness or nutrition information to participate as vendors in this community event, which is funded by a grant from the U.S. Department of Labor.
