Health Fairs

Promote social support interventions and/or health education activities in your small business by hosting a health fair. A small business health fair is an effective way to provide valuable health information and screening services to your numbers of employees in a convenient “one-stop shop” format.

Small Biz Action Steps

There are several ways to plan a health fair. Your company may choose to host your own health fair for employees, or you may choose to host an organized third-party health fair for your small business, such as a WelCo Health Solutions – Health Fair. With either option, planning follows some basic steps.

• Establishing a Health Fair Planning Committee is the first step to a successful event. This committee should include a cross section of employees interested in healthy living and willing to commit time to the planning process.

• Health fairs should complement small business workplace and provide services in a convenient manner for employees. No matter the size of the event, offering some services on-site encourages employees to examine their lifestyle and health. Simply increasing awareness of health issues may be the greatest benefit of the event.
