The SourcePoint Health & Wellness Expo is set to return on Tuesday, May 19, offering a focused, practical opportunity for older adults and caregivers to engage directly with health providers, service organizations, and community resources.
Held from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM at the Agricultural Center at the Delaware County Fairgrounds, the annual event is designed specifically for those age 55 and older, along with family members supporting aging loved ones.
Screenings That Matter
With more than 75 exhibitors participating, the expo places a strong emphasis on early detection and preventive care. Attendees can access a wide range of free screenings, including:
- Blood pressure and cholesterol checks
- Vision and hearing assessments
- Balance and mobility evaluations
- Cognitive and emotional wellness screenings
- Allergy testing and glaucoma checks
Specialized offerings such as CarFit—which helps older drivers improve safety and comfort behind the wheel—add a practical dimension that goes beyond traditional health fairs.
Beyond Health: Everyday Living and Connection
The event is structured not just around medical screenings, but around the broader concept of healthy, engaged aging. Visitors can explore:
- Aging and caregiver support services available across Delaware County
- Chair yoga demonstrations and wellness activities
- Lifelong learning and volunteer opportunities
- Resources tailored for local veterans
- Therapeutic riding programs and equine-assisted engagement
A lighter touch is present as well, with adoptable dogs from the Humane Society of Delaware County adding a community-focused, interactive element.
Designed for Accessibility and Ease
Organizers have emphasized convenience and accessibility. Admission is free, and golf cart transportation will be available to assist attendees traveling from parking areas to the entrance. The event is sponsored by OhioHealth, reinforcing its role as both a public health initiative and a community gathering point.
A Practical Stop for Proactive Aging
At its core, the SourcePoint Health & Wellness Expo functions as a one-stop hub—bringing together services that are often scattered across providers and locations. For attendees, that means the ability to gather information, complete screenings, and make connections in a single visit.
