SaddleBrooke Ranch Health and Wellness Fair

SaddleBrooke Ranch was buzzing with energy as more than 50 exhibitors and over 480 residents gathered for the second annual SaddleBrooke Ranch Health and Wellness Fair. With a focus on connection, education, and proactive care, the event brought together community members and health experts for a day filled with resources, screenings, and helpful insights.

From the moment doors opened, residents made their enthusiasm known. Many went out of their way to share positive feedback, noting how impressed they were with the fair’s organization and the welcoming atmosphere created by our dedicated volunteers. Several attendees commented that it felt even more impactful than our first health fair—high praise that meant a great deal to the team.
