Chamber President Bob Stelletello adds, "We at the Oak Park River Forest Chamber of Commerce are very excited to present the 4th Annual Health and Wellness Fair in partnership with The West Cook YMCA and our Presenting Sponsor, Rush Oak Park Hospital. The event has enjoyed tremendous community support and is growing every year. It really provides a wonderful experience for the 70 exhibitors and over 600 attendees. There's something for all ages; games and activities for kids, health screenings for adults and seniors, fitness classes, the Mobile Stroke Unit from Rush OP Hospital, the Rotary Club "Iron Lung" exhibit to raise awareness of their worldwide fight against polio, information on programs and services for the community, raffles, giveaway prizes and much more. There are even healthy snacks to boot! I encourage everyone to join us at the West Cook YMCA on April 29th. It's the biggest and best health fair in the area!"
