Thank You for Another Successful Black Family Wellness Expo!

 

The Farmington Valley (CT) Chapter and the Greater Hartford (CT) Chapter of The Links, Incorporated extend our heartfelt gratitude to our sponsors, volunteers, and community partners for making the Black Family Wellness Expo 2025 a tremendous success.  ​Your support helped us empower hundreds of families through health, education, and holistic wellness resources. Together, we continue to build healthier, stronger communities across Connecticut.

​

Held on Saturday, March 15, 2025, at The Artists Collective in Hartford, CT, this free public event brought together leading health professionals, community organizations, and wellness experts to provide essential tools for improved well-being. Attendees received free health screenings, fitness activities, and educational sessions focused on health advocacy, financial literacy, and self-care—along with hands-on activities promoting holistic wellness. Local organizations also connected individuals and families to valuable resources that support lifelong health and empowerment.

​

As part of our commitment to fostering healthy lifestyles, we were proud to provide a free nutritious lunch to all attendees. Whether participants came to take charge of their health, learn new wellness strategies, or simply connect with others in the community, the Expo offered a supportive and engaging environment for all ages.

​

This impactful event would not have been possible without our generous sponsors and partners, including: UConn Health Disparities Institute, UConn Institute for Collaboration on Health Intervention and Policy (InCHIP), City of Hartford Health and Human Services, Saint Francis Hospital/Trinity Health of New England, Eversource, UConn Health Department of Public Health Sciences, CT Department of Public Health, Liberty Bank, CT Health Foundation, Hartford Yard Goats, Westfield Bank, Howard K. Hill Funeral Services, and Hartford Food System.

​

To our volunteers, who gave their time, energy, and enthusiasm—thank you for helping us bring our vision to life. And to our community members, thank you for showing up, participating, and celebrating wellness with us.

​

We look forward to seeing you again next year as we continue to advance the mission of health equity and family wellness throughout our community.
