Richland County residents are invited to attend the 27th annual Minority Health Fair, which this year will focus on whole-person wellness.
The free event will be held from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. April 25 at Providence Baptist Church, 112 W. Sixth St. in Mansfield, according to a community announcement.
The fair is organized by the NAACP #3190 and will feature 25 vendors offering health information, screenings and community resources.
Anthony Brown was one of the speakers at the 2025 Minority Health Fair. The event on April 25, 2026, will once again feature several speakers talking about brain health, the role of a doula and the Family Stability Initiative.
Event will feature speakers, lunch and gift card drawing
The event will include presentations by three speakers: Jennifer Miller of the Alzheimer’s Association, who will speak on brain health; Joy Miller of Living and Leaving with Joy, who will discuss the role of a doula; and Judge Steve McKinley, who will present on the Family Stability Initiative.
Attendees will also enjoy a light lunch and have the opportunity to participate in a gift card drawing.
A focus on all aspects of well-being
Danielle Saffold
This year’s event is chaired by Danielle Saffold, a 27-year Timken Company employee, CASA volunteer and an active member of the NAACP for the past four years.
Saffold believes “health is wealth” and brings a holistic vision to this year’s fair. She has worked to ensure the event addresses physical, mental, financial and emotional well-being, according to the announcement.
“This health fair is about more than checkups. It’s about empowering people with the knowledge and resources they need to live healthier, more balanced lives,” Saffold said.
