UB Wellfest, the university’s annual event devoted to wellness and healthy living, will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. April 14 in the Center for the Arts, North Campus.   

The fair is sponsored by Wellness and Work/Life Balance, University Human Resources and Harmony Expositions, the leading worksite health-and-wellness company in Western New York.

This year, the free event will merge with the Employee Assistance Program’s Financial Fair, bringing together vendors from Western New York that focus their services on wellness and financial well-being and assist in planning for present and future financial challenges.

UB Wellfest addresses the emotional, mental, social and physical aspects of health and wellness for UB faculty and staff.

Attendees can take advantage of free health screenings offered by Catholic Health, chair massages and health demonstrations.

The event will include a Healthy Marketplace featuring a variety of fresh produce, assorted wellness items and healthy snacks available for purchase. There also will be prizes and giveaways.

Faculty and staff also can learn about university resources that are available to them.

More information about the event can be found on the UB Wellfest site.
