2011 IWU Spring Health Fair

Welcome to the blog for the annual Indiana Wesleyan University Spring Health Fair. As in years past, the health fair will take place in the Student Commons area of the Student Center on the Marion Campus of Indiana Wesleyan University. It will be on Wednesday, March 30, 2011 from 3:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m.

The health fair is an event to educate the IWU and Marion community about physical, emotional, and spiritual health and illness issues, along with how to live a healthier and fuller life through medical and lifestyle options and modifications. Jesus said that we are to live abundant lives and that we are to prosper in spirit and body. We hope that our efforts will move the community towards this.

This year the theme we chose was Planting the Seeds of Wellness. We hope that our efforts can do just that - plant the seeds of the importance of wellness and how the community can help in those efforts.
