YWCA Metropolitan Chicago has partnered with Block Club Chicago to bring South Side Health and Wellness Fest at Shine Bright Community Center on Saturday, November 7, 10 - 3 pm.

This event will provide physical and mental health resources while helping address ongoing health equity gaps. The fest is designed to be interactive, accessible, and community-centered – bringing together trusted providers, organizations, and partners to bring tangible, hands-on support directly to the community.

We’re curating a range of on-site activations, including:

• Healthcare providers and hospital partners

• Nutrition and health education resources

• Health insurance navigation support

• Mental and behavioral health services

• Health literacy support (prescriptions, lab results, medical bills)

• Transportation resources for medical appointments

• Medical screenings (blood pressure, glucose, vision, etc.)

• Mobile clinics and vaccinations

• Movement-based activations (stretching, chair exercises, yoga throughout the day)

• Wellness and racial healing experiences (meditation, breathwork)

• Chair massages
