Community Wellness Event Planned for May 16th in Honesdale Park

Honesdale, PA (April 15, 2025) – Organizers of Wayne Memorial Community Health Centers (WMCHC) first annual wellness event, Unity in the Community, slated for Friday, May 16, from 4 pm to 7 pm gathered at the Honesdale Central Park to finalize the layout for the free interactive event.

“A little over a year ago we were brainstorming on how we could give back to the community,” stated Katelyn Haytko, executive assistant, WMCHC. “With input from a planning committee and an overwhelming show of support from our community partners — either as sponsors or vendors – we are excited to invite the public to come together to celebrate physical and emotional wellbeing.”

Attendees can look forward to free refreshments, live music, a variety of health and wellness vendor tables and a chance to win an overnight stay for four at Kalahari Resorts. Family fun activities at “Kids Central” will include a bounce house, face painting and crafts. For adults there will be chair massages and lots of education on ways to achieve or maintain a healthy lifestyle.

“There will be something for everyone!” stated Haytko. “We encourage families to bring blankets or chairs and enjoy the evening.”
