“We are excited to bring the third mega free Health & Wellness Expo to our community,” said Dr. Manju Sheth, President of INE MultiMedia, and a board certified internist at Lahey Health. “Our goals are simple: education of the community regarding their physical and emotional health, overall wellness and fitness.”

Dr. Sheth, who serves as the Chair of the Mega Health & Wellness Expo 2015 and is a former president of the Indian Medical Association of New England, said the Expo will will feature some of the most renowned health care providers of the area, including Dr. Sanjiv Chopra, Dr. Om Ganda, Dr. Anju Nohria, Dr. Dinesh Patel, Dr. Sonal Pandya, Dr. Jaipal Gandhi, Dr. Jagruti Patel, Dr. Naresh Mansharamani, Dr. Meera Subramaniam, Dr. Samir Malkani, Dr. Paul Mathew, Dr. Aneesh Singhal, Dr. Hetal Verma, Dr. Tara Singh and Dr. Manasaa Patna.

“While traditional medicine remains the core program of the expo, by popular demand we have also added integrative medicine including a Holistic segment and a number of innovative health workshops,” said Dr. Sheth. “We also believe that looking good is as important as feeling well, and based on numerous requests we have also added a ‘beauty segment’ where our experts will talk about many topics including skin care and anti-aging. Our goal is to present all modalities related to health and wellness so people can learn and make educated decisions about their health.”

Anu Chitrapu, a senior vice president and executive at Bank of America who holds an MBA from MIT Sloan School of Management and leads the workshops and at the Expo, said the annual Health Expo has become an event that the community looks forward to.

“This year the Expo is bigger and better than ever before. The lineup of speakers and the range of topics covered is phenomenal,” said Chitrapu. “Just talking briefly to our workshop speakers has opened my mind to a whole new world. Come prepared to exercise, learn to cook healthy, watch Kathak yoga, hear some exotic music, learn about several alternate forms of medicine… in short, come prepared to be immersed in a day of health that will change your life!”

Upendra Mishra, publisher of INDIA New England News and vice president of INE MultiMedia, said attendees will get a taste of various health-related topics, including mind and body medicine, fitness and beauty, dental hygiene and care, free health screenings, healthy food choices, yoga and meditation and health plans and health care networks.

“We would like to thank our community and all supporting organizations, sponsors and exhibitors who have supported this mega undertaking for the last three years,” said Mishra. “Free registration for the Expo is still open. We encourage you to register early. We expect a huge turnout.”
