Heart of the Valley Health and Wellness Fair

The McAllen Chamber of Commerce Health Fair Committee invites everyone in the Rio Grande Valley to participate in the 26th annual “Heart of the Valley” Health Fair, Sunday, November 22, 2009 from 8 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., at the New McAllen Convention Center.


The Chamber sponsors this event to promote health awareness and education to the community. Through the fair we are able to inform the community about the latest treatments, procedures, services and technology available in the Rio Grande Valley.


Exhibitors at the health fair will offer free health screenings in cholesterol, diabetes, blood pressure, vision/glaucoma, dental, chiropractic and bone density as well as educational information. Over 6,000 Rio Grande Valley residents and Winter Texans take advantage of all the services offered at the health fair every year. The health fair also features a children’s section promoting health and wellness in children. Contests are held with door prizes being awarded to the best coloring contest participant in three different age categories and to the child that makes a Hole-In-One at the Miniature Golf contest. Entertainment is provided for children as well as health and safety education.


The McAllen Chamber of Commerce “Heart of the Valley” health fair is the largest health fair in the Rio Grande Valley and is an excellent opportunity for health care businesses to promote their business.
