POMONA, CA — On Saturday, June 28, 2025, the Pomona Wellness Community hosted the Empowering Men Health Fair, a free event dedicated to promoting men’s physical, mental, and financial well-being. Held from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at the Pomona Wellness Community Center, the fair attracted a diverse group of attendees seeking resources and support for healthier living.
Organized by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, the event featured a comprehensive array of services and activities designed to address the unique health challenges faced by men. Attendees had access to on-site health screenings, including tests for diabetes, high blood pressure, bone density, lung function, vision, and dental health. These screenings aimed to facilitate early detection and encourage proactive health management among participants.
In addition to medical services, the fair offered educational workshops focusing on financial wellness. Sessions provided practical advice on managing debt and improving credit, recognizing the integral role financial stability plays in overall health. Workshops were conducted in both English and Spanish to accommodate the community’s diverse population.
The event also emphasized mental health, with resources and information available on topics such as stress management, substance use, and emotional well-being. Representatives from local organizations were present to connect attendees with ongoing support services, reinforcing the fair’s commitment to holistic health.
To foster a welcoming and engaging atmosphere, the fair included interactive elements such as fitness demonstrations, healthy cooking samples, and wellness giveaways. Snacks and refreshments were provided, encouraging attendees to stay and participate fully in the day’s offerings.
The Empowering Men Health Fair is part of the Pomona Wellness Community’s broader initiative to provide accessible health resources and education to residents. By addressing the specific needs of men and creating a space for open dialogue and support, the fair aimed to break down barriers to health care and promote a culture of wellness within the community.
