Nearly 100 volunteers from BWH helped make the fourth annual 7NBC/CW56 and Partners HealthCare Health and Fitness Expo a huge success this year for the estimated 65,000 attendees.
“This proved to be another successful example of the Partners family working together to touch the communities we serve,” said Partners President Gary Gottlieb, MD, MBA, in an e-mail thanking all Partners staff for their contributions to the June 12 and 13 expo at the Hynes Convention Center.
BWH provided 750 cardiovascular screenings and 300 vein screenings, in addition to screening close to 600 children and adults for asthma. During the expo, visitors also had the opportunity to participate in fitness activities and interact with BWH and Partners health experts, members of the 7 News Team, former New England Patriot Tedy Bruschi, Boston Mayor Thomas M. Menino and other celebrity attendees.
