About this Event

Join us at our free 2nd Annual It Takes A Village Health Fair! Experience a diverse range of workshops, seminars, and presentations. Expert speakers will be delving into subjects that matter most: disparities in healthcare, mental health stigma, nutrition education, preventive care, and chronic disease management. Get a peek inside the variety of free classes we offer, from cardio/strength, pilates, dance, and cooking, all taught by top-tier instructors.

We'll also have an array of community partners on site to share their resources for the community. And let's not forget the live music, food trucks, free health screenings, free barbershop haircuts, the children's corner, and much, much more!


About It Takes A Village

It Takes a Village is a health fair for Bay Area residents hosted by The Good Life Program for Healthy Aging. This annual in-person health fair stands as a vibrant celebration of health, empowerment, and unity, merging education, inspiration, and connection. We celebrate Black American cultural heritage and promote a better understanding of the unique health challenges faced by the Black community. It Takes a Village aims to catalyze positive change and promote lasting wellness. It Takes a Village unites the Black community in a shared pursuit of health, knowledge, and unity.

Our goal is to create a health experience that shows the Black American community that good physical, cognitive and emotional health is possible at all ages. The health fair offers our The Good Life members a toolkit of knowledge and resources to guide their wellness journeys. It Takes a Village intends to be a catalyst for ongoing change, advocacy, and empowerment within the Black American community.


About The Good Life

The Good Life is a network of wellness centers that support healthy aging by offering a wide-range of FREE online classes. They are dedicated to reversing the growing public health crisis of cognitive impairment and dementia now affecting economically disadvantaged older adults. To ensure The Good Life can be achieved by everyone, all of their classes are held virtually (using Zoom), open to everyone to come, and always free of charge. Because The Good Life knows that social support is also vital to our health, we host the It Takes a Village as our in-person health program where our members of our digital community (at least as many as can come) and celebrate our health and wellness in fellowship with other TGL members and the Oakland community at large.


This free program for adults and seniors is brought to you by UC Davis Health and The City of Oakland Parks and Recreation, sponsored by the California Department of Public Health.
