Don’t wait until spring has sprung to start living your best life in North Georgia.

Thanks to the Healthy Aging Expo, organized by Metro Market Media and The Times, you can take advantage of the health expertise the region has to offer.

More than 25 vendors and organizations will be on hand on Feb. 26 at The Venue at Friendship Springs in Flowery Branch to discuss services and issues ranging from hearing aids to orthopedics. 

This will be the third Healthy Aging Expo held at the South Hall venue. Three similar expos have been held at Frances Meadows Aquatic Center in Gainesville.

A new addition coming this year is brunch — Arbor Terrace, the assisted living and dementia care provider, is sponsoring a meal for attendees.

The event is open from 9 a.m. to noon Feb. 26 at 7340 Friendship Springs Blvd. Attendance is free, and along with booths from participating groups the event will include demonstrations, health screenings and seminars.
