Radio One Richmond and Anthem HealthKeepers Plus have joined forces to present their first Community Health and Wellness Expo, a free event designed to promote comprehensive wellness approaches for area residents. The expo, themed “Wellness from A-Z,” will take place Nov. 2 at the Victory Theater and Event Center.

The four-hour event will address physical, mental and spiritual well-being through a variety of interactive programs and resources.

“We believe that wellness encompasses all aspects of life, and this fair is an opportunity for the community to explore resources that support physical, mental and emotional health,” said Mat Myers, operations manager at Radio One Richmond.

“By bringing together health professionals, local businesses and community members, we hope to inspire a holistic approach to well-being.”

Featured activities will include fireside chats with wellness professionals, interactive workshops covering nutrition and mental health, and exhibits from local health-related businesses. Attendees will have the opportunity to engage directly with health experts and gather information about improving their overall well-being.

Light refreshments will be provided.

The expo, co-sponsored by Safe Space Residential, represents a significant initiative to address community health needs in the Richmond area. Local vendors will be on hand to showcase health-related products and services, while educational panels will focus on key areas, including fitness and spiritual care.

The event will be held Saturday, Nov. 2, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Victory Theater and Event Center, 7903 Midlothian Turnpike.
