The Health and Fitness Expo is an annual event that promotes health and well-being by connecting members of the George Mason community with vital well-being services. This year, at the 28th annual event, we had around 350 faculty, staff, students, and members of the surrounding community in attendance.
"Over the last few years, the HFE planning team has been working to bring the Health and Fitness Expo back to its full capacity. This year's event was the largest Expo since 2019," said Stephanie Amirsoltani, Health and Wellbeing Coordinator. The Expo features George Mason departments and community partner organizations with a total of 62 exhibitors that provide health and well-being services to the George Mason community.

Student Health Services and the School of Nursing also offered cholesterol, blood pressure, blood sugar, and vision screenings to attendees.
