DeTar’s Heart Health Expo 2026

DeTar Healthcare System is proud to present DeTar’s Heart Health Expo 2026, a free, community-focused event dedicated to heart health education, prevention and overall wellness for the Crossroads. Join us on Thursday, February 5, 2026, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Victoria Community Center Dome for an engaging and informative day designed to help you take charge of your heart health.

This expanded expo brings together DeTar healthcare professionals and our community partners under one roof to provide heart health education, free vital health screenings and interactive demonstrations. Attendees will learn about chest pain and stroke awareness, participate in hands-only CPR demonstrations, connect with health vendors and have opportunities to win door prizes. Due to the continued growth and popularity of this event, DeTar's Heart Health Expo has moved to the Victoria Community Center, making it easier for the community to attend and allowing for more screenings, educational sessions and hands-on learning opportunities!
