South Side Health and Wellness Fest

About this event

YWCA Metropolitan Chicago has partnered with Block Club Chicago to bring South Side Health and Wellness Fest at Shine Bright Community Center on Saturday, November 7, 10 - 3 pm.

This event will provide physical and mental health resources while helping address ongoing health equity gaps. The fest is designed to be interactive, accessible, and community-centered – bringing together trusted providers, organizations, and partners to bring tangible, hands-on support directly to the community.

We’re curating a range of on-site activations, including:

• Healthcare providers and hospital partners

• Nutrition and health education resources

• Health insurance navigation support

• Mental and behavioral health services

• Health literacy support (prescriptions, lab results, medical bills)

• Transportation resources for medical appointments

• Medical screenings (blood pressure, glucose, vision, etc.)

• Mobile clinics and vaccinations

• Movement-based activations (stretching, chair exercises, yoga throughout the day)

• Wellness and racial healing experiences (meditation, breathwork)

• Chair massages
