County Health & Wellness Fair Brings 60 Vendors to Marriott Friday

The County of Kaua‘i is inviting the public to attend its Health & Wellness Fair, sponsored by the County of Kaua‘i Housing Agency and Life’s Choices Kaua‘i. This year’s theme is “Together We Are Stronger,” according to a county news release.

The event, featuring 60 vendors, will be at the Kaua‘i Marriott Resort in Līhu‘e from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. this Friday, Sept. 6. The fair will focus on the eight dimensions of health: physical, emotional/mental, social, spiritual, intellectual, occupational, financial and environmental.

“Every year, hundreds of people attend our Health & Wellness Fair to learn how to improve their health and well-being,” said Life’s Choices Kaua‘i Coordinator Theresa Koki. “The fair not only gives people access to dozens of organizations aimed at helping them to improve their lives, but it also offers programs that are designed to motivate employees or clients to lead healthier lifestyles and can help to reduce healthcare costs.”

Information about services for people of all ages will be available at the fair. Services include health and wellness programs, financial planning, domestic violence and suicide prevention, alcohol and drug prevention, emergency prevention and preparedness, and more.

In addition, there will be free blood pressure screenings and flu shots will also be administered.
