West Monroe Wellness Fair

All are welcome to the West Monroe Wellness Fair by Ouachita Healthy Communities Coalition. 

Keeping our bodies healthy and fit is one way to help reduce the risk of illness. The Ouachita
Parish Healthy Communities Coalition in partnership with the Cities of Monroe and West
Monroe would like to invite you to join us at one or both of our upcoming Wellness Fairs. These
events are free, will be held outdoors, and are open to the public. This is a great opportunity to
learn about good nutrition, physical activity, and wellness.
A food truck will be onsite for the events so you can enjoy a convenient lunch while visiting the
booths at the Wellness Fair. Don’t miss this chance to get health information, participate in
screenings and vaccination, learn prevention measures, and grab some giveaways!
The West Monroe Wellness Fair will be held Wednesday, October 13, 2021, from 10:00 AM to
2:00 PM in the parking lot of the West Monroe City Hall. “The City of West Monroe is proud to
host the West Monroe Wellness Fair at City Hall,” said Mayor Staci Mitchell. “Healthy residents
are critical to a successful, vibrant community. We look forward to partnering with the LSU Ag
Center and the Ouachita Healthy Communities Coalition to bring valuable information and health
screenings to the public.”
The Monroe Wellness Fair will follow on Wednesday, October 20, 2021, from 10:00 AM to 2:00
PM in the Monroe Civic Center parking lot. “The City of Monroe is excited for the upcoming
Wellness Fair at the Monroe Civic Center,” said Mayor Friday Ellis. “I am excited to see our
community coming together in an organic, grassroots way to help residents take those first steps
towards improving their health. I love to see locals taking ownership of their health. A healthy
community is not only a productive community, but a happy one.”
LifeShare Blood Center will also be on site for the health fairs so participants will have the
opportunity to give back to the community by donating blood. Blood is urgently needed at this
time. You can help save a life by donating since your blood donation will go to someone battling
cancer, enduring sickle cell disease, undergoing surgery, or suffering through a traumatic
accident.
Any agencies or organizations who wish to set up a booth at one of both of the events, can contact
the LSU AgCenter at 318-323-2251. We encourage everyone to social distance for this event,
and we hope to see you there!
