The Friends House Wellness Expo is less than two weeks away—and it’s a chance to step into what health, connection, and everyday life can feel like here.

Spend a little time or stay for the full experience as you connect with trusted local health and wellness experts, explore resident-led programs, and see how everything comes together across campus.

Along the way, you can experience a Qi Gong demonstration, tour the gardens and apiary, enjoy on-site massage and blood pressure checks, explore mobility solutions that support independence, and sample healthy bites and refreshments. You’ll also have time to stop by the Friends House Elephant Shop and see another part of what makes this community work.
