Connect with resources, tour renovated facility

The June 27 re-opening offers a chance to get a personal glimpse into our wellness offerings.

Arrive by 1:15 pm to join a guided tour of the building and courtyard. Hop on our smoothie bike and blend a refreshing drink with your own pedal power. Eat healthy snacks or purchase food from Camila's Mexican Food truck. Bring your kids-we'll have activities and games for all ages as well as face painting and henna.

Take care of your health with free blood pressure screenings. Connect with partner organizations including:

• Multicultural Institute: support for immigrant families

Focus on your health while enjoying a fun afternoon-there's something for everyone.

Public transit is available via AC Transit #51B. Two bike boulevards are blocks away. The surrounding neighborhood offers free parking, but shared scooters, bikes, and e-bikes can help you avoid the need to park a car.

Building community health and connection

This event and the wellness center are organized by the Health, Housing, and Community Services' Public Health Division. Berkeley Public Health helps community members find and access services to help prevent illness, such as low-cost health and dental check-ups, nutrition assistance, lead poisoning prevention, quit smoking classes, and more. Healthcare providers can find ways to collaborate and communicate with Berkeley Public Health.

The West Berkeley Family Wellness Center offers a welcoming space for people of all backgrounds to connect and care for their health. This helps meet a key need identified by our community through the Berkeley Wellness Blueprint Project.

Come out to the West Berkeley Family Wellness Center for our June 27 Grand Reopening or weekdays 9 am to 5 pm. Connect with health services and your community.
