The Junior League of Phoenix is helping families make their health a priority in 2018 with its second annual HealthFest on Saturday March 10 from 10a – 2p at Gateway Community College, located at 108 N. 40th St., Phoenix, AZ 85034. The free event will feature local health resources, health screenings, children’s immunizations, education, children’s activities and fun fitness demonstrations.

This family-friendly event brings together local leaders in health and wellness, including nutrition, fitness, healthcare providers and local programs. Along with free health screenings and children’s immunizations, attendees can also take advantage of free dental screenings and fluoride treatments. HealthFest will feature live interactive demonstrations for the entire family, including fitness and cooking. In its second year, HealthFest has added the ability to learn about the HUG clinic at GateWay Community College and schedule free physical therapy, respiratory therapy or ultrasounds.

JLP’s HealthFest is a fun way to spend a day with your family learning about local health resources and healthy lifestyle choices.”
