INDIANA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH TO HOST INDIANA HEALTH FAIR  

INDIANAPOLIS – The Indiana Department of Health (IDOH) encourages Hoosiers to take advantage of more than $4,000 in free health screenings, resources and information during the Indiana Health Fair, July 17-20 at the Indiana Convention Center. 

“For nearly four decades, the Indiana Health Fair has been an essential resource for Hoosiers who want to improve their health,” said State Health Commissioner Lindsay Weaver, M.D., FACEP. “Not only is this event a great occasion to get several important health screenings all in one place, it is an opportunity for all Hoosiers to learn about how to make positive changes in their lives.”

This year’s fair will be held in halls D and E at the following times:

“Bringing together families and communities, with a focus on education and prevention is critical to making Indiana healthier,” said Antoniette Holt, director of the IDOH Office of Minority Health. “This could not happen without our partners coming together to make these vital services available each year. We are incredibly grateful for their support.”
