Free screenings, community resources at 17th B’More Healthy Expo Feb. 7

Baltimore residents filled the Baltimore Convention Center for the 17th annual B’More Healthy Expo, a free community health event that aimed to link families to screenings, services and practical wellness guidance under one roof. Organizers promoted the gathering as a chance to connect directly with providers and community programs that can help people manage health and financial wellbeing.

The expo took place Saturday, Feb. 7, 2026, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the Baltimore Convention Center, 1 W. Pratt Street. Promotional materials emphasized that “The B’More Healthy Expo offers something for every age and every interest and engages, entertains, educates and empowers families to take actions and make choices to be more healthy.” The event also was called “this free event is the ultimate “one-stop shop” for” a range of services and information.

Attendees had access to a broad slate of free services. Media coverage noted that “Visitors benefited from free health screenings, sports and fitness activities, healthy cooking and nutrition advice, financial fitness tips, life‑saving skills training, mental health services, and more.” Community providers staffed booths offering testing, demonstrations and referrals to ongoing care. Chase Brexton Health Services operated at Booth #206 and listed a package of on-site offerings: “We'll be offering free, fast, confidential HIV and Hep C testing, educational and health care information, free safe sex kits, and other fun giveaways! Our Population Health team can also help you get into care at Chase Brexton. We'll also have life‑saving Narcan training and free Narcan kits available while supplies last. Be sure to stop by and say hi at Booth #206!” Chase Brexton’s announcement also named its POWER Project, Sexual Health Clinic, Behavioral Health, Substance Use, and Population Health teams as attendees.

Local television coverage included a report by WBFF / FOX45 News, which ran a photo gallery and noted visitors could meet members of the FOX45 News team. Photo assets and event images were circulated in a gallery accompanying the coverage.

Beyond immediate service delivery, the expo highlights a mode of community health investment that has economic implications for Baltimore City. By concentrating preventive screenings, mental-health resources and financial fitness advice in a free, centralized event, organizers reduce barriers to care and potentially limit costly downstream use of emergency services. For local employers and households, earlier connections to care can support workforce stability and reduce out-of-pocket medical shocks that strain budgets.

For residents who want information or organizational participation, exhibitor inquiries were handled via email at info@bmorehealthyexpo.com and by phone at (410) 662-1443. The Baltimore Convention Center address is 1 W. Pratt Street, Baltimore, MD 21201. Chase Brexton also noted a separate operational line at 410-837-2050 for other clinic matters.

The expo underscored how community-led prevention and resource navigation fit into longer-term efforts to improve population health and economic resilience in Baltimore. Organizers and health partners face follow-up questions about turnout, sponsor participation and measurable outcomes; answers to those will shape whether similar one-day events become a regular, cost-effective pillar of citywide public-health strategy.
