Urban Health Expo Offers Fitness Demos, Cooking Classes, More

AUSTIN, TX —The Urban Health Expo will host a collaborative event including over 30 professionals and organizations addressing the health and wellness of communities of color. According to Rhonda Mundhenk, CEO of Lone Star Circle of Care, "our communities of color have higher rates of cancer, diabetes, heart disease, stroke, HIV and other sexually transmitted infections. With this disproportionate burden of disease is lower life expectancy, decreased quality of life and loss of economic opportunities."

The Urban Health Expo is a health and wellness industry event designed to address the systematic health challenges affecting residents of Central Texas. Happening, Saturday, Jan. 4 and beginning at 9:30 a.m., The Urban Health Expo will offer a host of events and activities including a visit from UT Champ/NFL Alumni Vince Young; 2-time Olympic Gold Medalist Natasha '400-MDiva' Hastings; Psychologist/Journalist/Professor Dr. Nicole Cross; as well as a performance by Ballet Afrique. There will be fitness demos, cooking classes, dance sessions, yoga and more with celebrity athletes, doctors and trainers.
