Health Fair and Expo Rescheduled for October

Baxter Health and KTLO, Classic Hits and The Boot, organizers of the annual Health Fair and Expo, have announced a change in the event’s scheduled date. As a cornerstone event, the Health Fair and Expo brings health professionals, wellness vendors, and community members together for a day of learning, health screenings and fun. The event traditionally held in April has been moved to October this year.

The 43rd Annual Health Fair and Expo is now scheduled to take place Thursday, October 10 at The Sheid at ASU-Mountain Home and Friday, October 11 at The Durand Center in Harrison. The decision to move the event was made after careful consideration of various factors, including proximity of the original date to the 2024 solar eclipse, and the new date aligning to Medicare Open Enrollment, which will allow for opportunities for the community to ask questions.

“We believe that moving the Baxter Health Fair and Expo to October will allow us to provide an even more enriching experience for our community. We look forward to sharing some exciting things that will be on display as we get closer to the new date,” said Tobias Pugsley, VP of Marketing and Communication, at Baxter Health.

KTLO’s Heather Loftis notes, “The Medicare Open Enrollment period is of great importance to a large number of area residents, so this date means attendees will be able to access the latest information to make good decisions about their plans. Aside from all the available, informative aspects on health and wellness for the family, we expect the fresh look and vibe of the new Mountain Home venue to add energy and excitement to this highly anticipated event, while everyone will enjoy the notably better fall weather! Mark your calendars now to join us for a fun day in Mountain Home on October 10th or in Harrison on October 11th!”
