“If we make simple adjustments in our lives – eating better, exercising and getting more rest – we can become a healthier community,” said Mayor Gimenez. “I encourage everyone to visit the Wellness Fair to learn about healthy lifestyles.”

"AvMed is proud to partner with the County to improve the health of its employees and the community at large," said James M. Repp, AvMed Senior Vice President. "As the County's health care benefit provider, we are also very supportive of all of Mayor Gimenez's workplace wellness initiatives."

During the event, participants will enjoy music, food and a number of interactive activities from the Miami-Dade Public Library System, Zoo Miami, Deering Estate at Cutler, Fruit & Spice Park as well as Parks, Recreations and Open Spaces programs such as Eco-Adventures and Fit 2 Play. The Wellness Fair will also host a local farmers market, two live transmission from local radio stations, food trucks, free on-site health screenings and more. Selected vendors will accept cash, credit cards, debit cards and EBT. 

The Spring into Wellness Mega Fair is one of several Worksite Wellness initiatives sponsored by the Office of the Mayor. The event is made possible with in-kind contributions from County Departments, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the Miami-Dade County Health Department, the Consortium for a Healthier Miami-Dade, The Miami–Dade County Employee Wellness Center as well as sponsorships from local vendors.
