Organizations with Lansing Health and Wellness Fair Promoted Healthier Living

Organizations from across Mid-Michigan came together on the State Capitol lawn to promote the health and well-being of people in our neighborhoods.
The free event offered health screenings, vaccinations, exercise techniques, opioid awareness and harm reduction services.

On Thursday, the City of Lansing’s Human Relations and Community Services Department helps promote health and wellness in our neighborhoods.
The City is bringing together organizations from all of our neighborhoods on the State Capitol lawn for the Lansing Health and Wellness Fair.

Included on the lawn were Ingham County health departments testing for lead levels and home safety.

And on Main Street, nonprofits like Mid-Michigan Recovery Services provided opioid awareness and harm reduction options.

The free event also included healthy food options, mental health services and even a bouncy castle for kids.

Theresa Broom attended the event and was grateful that it was in the city centre so everyone could come and visit.

“It’s really amazing to see all the resources Lansing has to offer in one place for people to have the opportunity to experience them and gather that information,” Broom said.

More than 20 vendors attended the event.
