There’s a free, family-friendly health event Saturday at Union Mission Baptist Church. There will be experts available and plenty of information about heart disease, sickle cell, mental health, fitness and more.

The clinic will include a blood drive and free vaccinations and immunizations as well as blood pressure screenings, all for no cost.

The Black Family Wellness Expo 2026 is presented by Lansing/East Lansing Links, a service organization. The event is designed to bring a wide variety of health options directly to the community, said Quinette Roberson-Connally, president of the Lansing/East Lansing chapter.

“Through this expo, we are bringing world-class health resources directly to our Black community — because access to wellness should never be out of reach.”
