Chamber Of Commerce To Host Health And Wellness Expo In March

WALTHAM, MA — With the rise of work-from-home jobs during the pandemic, many people aren’t getting the same level of movement and social interaction we used to. Lifestyles have been turned around, and it can be hard to find a way to change it.

To help residents “move a little better, eat a little better and stress a little less,” the Waltham Chamber of Commerce is putting on a virtual expo dedicated to helping people connect with health vendors, alongside the chambers of commerce in Arlington, Melrose, Malden, Lexington, Stoneham, and Winchester.

The free online event — to be held Saturday, March 20, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. — will give people the chance to see demonstrations, workshops, and classes, and to talk with local health and wellness business owners in a trade show setting.

“Like most community events, the Chamber has changed the way we promote our members, and local businesses, and the ways in which connect them to residents. This event will allow the community to connect directly with a variety of health and wellness experts,” said Lauren Grymek, executive director of the Melrose Chamber of Commerce, in a news release.

The organizing groups are still looking for local businesses to sign as vendors at the expo.

“If your business is focused on mental health, physical wellness, fitness, healthy lifestyle choices, stress management, physical therapy, coaching, or financial/ retirement health, this is a great opportunity for you to share your products and services with close to 1,000 attendees from Arlington, Lexington, Malden, Melrose, Stoneham and Waltham and beyond,” says the news release. “Exhibitors are encouraged to use their virtual booth for demonstrations, classes, and presentations.”
