Center for Closing the Health Gap Reintroduces Reimagined Signature Event on April 25 at Washington Park
The Center for Closing the Health Gap is announcing the return of its signature Health Expo. Reimagined for 2026 as a highly interactive, participant-driven community experience focused on prevention, empowerment, and transformation. The event will take place Saturday, April 25, 2026, at Washington Park and is expected to welcome more than 10,000 attendees.
Launched by former mayor of the city of Cincinnati Dwight Tillery, the Health Expo has reached more than 200,000 attendees and provided nearly 50,000 health screenings since its inaugural event in 2004.
“This is how we bring We Must Save Us to life,” said Renee Mahaffey Harris, President and CEO of the Center for Closing the Health Gap. “The Health Expo has always been about removing barriers to health. In 2026, we’re taking that commitment further by creating an environment where people actively engage, learn, and take ownership of their health.”
In addition to interactive experiences, the 2026 Health Expo will offer more than 20 free health screenings in partnership with UC Health, Health Collaborative, Cincinnati Children’s, TriHealth, Mercy Health, the Ohio Department of Health, and Network for Hope. Screenings will include blood pressure, glucose levels, BMI, mammography, select cancer screenings, and hearing, vision, and speech testing for children.
“Sponsors will be embedded,” said Romayne Jones, producer of the 2026 Expo and owner of ROJO Productions. “We’re building an event that feels dynamic, welcoming, and truly impactful.”
