Promoting Health Education & Awareness through Health Fairs
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.

Completing Your Health Risk Assessment
Following the initial setup, you will be prompted to answer a series of questions pertaining to your health, diet, fitness, and lifestyle. This survey will help track your current health, identify any health-related risk factors, and create a baseline from which to measure your performance and success. It’s okay if you aren’t sure of some answers. Your Wellness Profile can be saved and updated at your leisure.
By staying current and updating your health profile you can keep track of your current health risks and take a major step towards a proactive approach to diet, fitness, and wellness. These surveys will help you evaluate your current mental and physical health, set goals, and provide a foundation from which your progress can be demonstrated and documented.
