The Omaha Health Expo is the largest health fair pertaining to wellness, fitness, the mind, body, and spirit in the Midwest and one of the largest in the nation! Last year there were over 275 exhibitors and over 50 seminars. Over 10,000 attendees enjoyed the expo! This year looks to be even bigger and continue to grow!

Bob Mancuso, Jr., Director of the Omaha Health Expo, said, “The Omaha Health Expo is a unique community event that represents a multi-dimensional, complimentary view of health and wellness. The expo will have seminars on various topics both days. As an interactive event, each attendee will have the opportunity to speak with vendors – experts in their fields at the Omaha Civic Auditorium Mancuso Convention Center and Exhibition Hall - Free both days!”
“This is really an exciting opportunity for the Omaha area to host this health and wellness event,” said Michael Braunstein, publisher of the Heartland Healing Magazine.
The Expo will also feature the Omaha Health Expo Walk and Bike Ride events in the mornings on April 24-25, as the kick off events for the springtime running, walking, and biking season. The walk event – the Omaha Walk MS - is on the Saturday, April 24 and proceeds go to the MS Society. Contact the MS Society for more details! The Omaha Health Expo Bike Ride is on Sunday, April 25. Both events start and finish at the Omaha Civic Auditorium. The bike ride event is open to clubs (companies can form their own clubs) and individuals. There is also a high school club challenge! There are awards for the club levels based on participation (largest number of bike riders). Bike riders can still sign up. Proceeds from the bike ride will go to Eastern Nebraska Trails Network (ENTN) and go toward trail development in eastern Nebraska and greater Omaha.
Mancuso said the Omaha Health Expo is about education. There have been many studies that relate physical fitness, positive attitude, and overall health to a positive impact on the bottom line. Associates can have lower levels of stress and improve their well-being and self-esteem. For the company, that can equate to enhanced productivity and lower health care costs.

Dr. Donna Allen Cover, CEO, Positive Purpose Inc said, “We have reached a tipping point in our health status. Smart companies view human capital as their most important asset. The more we put into developing and keeping our employees well, the more we become economically competitive worldwide. Furthermore, it’s the right thing to do… Value wellness throughout the lifespan for our employees, dependents, family members, and retirees. The Omaha Health, Wellness, & Fitness Expo is not just an added benefit. It’s the way smart companies create good culture and do good business.”
Sandy Aquila from the Omaha Healing Arts Center said, ”The expo is creating an opportunity for knowledgeable people in the field of Mind-Body-Spirit to come together. My vision for this event is that it touches and opens the heart-mind of all who attend and proves to be another doorway into deeper understanding of our highest potential”.
