The 4th Annual - Omaha Health, Wellness, & Fitness Expo – The Mind, Body, & Spirit Fair is coming back to Omaha, Nebraska on April 30-May 1, 2011 at the Omaha Civic Auditorium.
The Omaha Health Expo is the largest health fair pertaining to wellness, fitness, the mind, body, and spirit in the Midwest and one of the largest in the nation! Last year there were over 300 exhibitors and over 50 seminars. Over 10,000 attendees enjoyed the expo, seminars, keynotes, and the walk and bike ride! This year looks to be even bigger and continue to grow!

Learn the benefits of being healthy, being pain free or reducing your pain levels. Find out what’s new in alternative medicine, nutrition, organic foods, being GREEN and so much more!
Bob Mancuso, Jr., Director of the Omaha Health Expo, said, “The Omaha Health Expo is a unique community event that represents a multi-dimensional, complimentary view of health and wellness. The expo will have seminars on various topics both days. As an interactive event, each attendee will have the opportunity to speak with vendors – experts in their fields at the Omaha Civic Auditorium Mancuso Convention Center and Exhibition Hall!”
“This is really an exciting opportunity for the Omaha area to host this health and wellness event,” said Michael Braunstein, publisher of the Heartland Healing Magazine.
The Expo will also feature the MS Walk – presented by Blue Cross & Blue Shield and the Omaha Health Expo Bike Ride events in the mornings on April 30-May 1, as the kick off events for the springtime running, walking, and biking season. The walk event is on the Saturday, April 30 and proceeds go to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society – Nebraska Chapter. Contact the MS Society for more details! The Omaha Health Expo Bike Ride is on Sunday, May 1. Both events start and finish at the Omaha Civic Auditorium. The bike ride event is open to clubs (companies can form their own clubs) and individuals. There are awards for the club levels based on participation (size). Proceeds from the bike ride will go to Eastern Nebraska Trails Network (ENTN) and go toward trail development in eastern Nebraska and greater Omaha.
Mancuso said the Omaha Health Expo is about education. There have been many studies that relate physical fitness, positive attitude, and overall health to a positive impact on the bottom line. Associates can have lower levels of stress and improve their well-being and self-esteem. For the company, that can equate to enhanced productivity and lower health care costs.
New in 2011 is the increased Clinics being offered. The Ultimate Baseball Academy and the Omaha Royals will have clinics on baseball and softball; Omaha Tennis Association and USTA on tennis; Omaha Beef on football; basketball; gymnastics, karate, running, and many more. There will be cooking demonstrations, beauty demo’s and fashion shows, and so much more.Also new in 2011 is key feature areas – such as the Retirement area, Fitness, Wellness, Cooking, Beauty, and others. In addition in 2011 – there will be a scorecard that every attendee will receive that enables them to get some of their own key health information listed -- such as blood pressure, height, weight, body fat index, and others.
