Arlington, Texas – Tarrant County residents will have an opportunity to take charge of their health at a free community event focused on early detection, prevention, and wellness. Precinct 2 Commissioner Alisa Simmons, in collaboration with several health and community partners, is hosting the 3rd Annual Kidney Wellness and Health Expo this March.
The event is presented in partnership with the National Kidney Foundation Serving Texas, UT Southwestern Moncrief Cancer Institute, Tarrant County Public Health, and the Mid-Cities (Texas) Chapter of The Links, Inc. Organizers say the expo is designed to provide accessible health services, education, and resources for families across the county.
Free screenings and preventive care for the community
The Kidney Wellness and Health Expo will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, March 14, 2026, at the Tarrant County Sub-Courthouse, located at 700 E. Abram St. in Arlington. The family-friendly event will offer free kidney disease screenings and breast cancer screenings, low-cost flu shots, preventive health education, and a comprehensive community resource fair.
Commissioner Simmons shared her personal motivation for hosting the event, stating, “I’m a chronic kidney disease patient. So, this effort is very important to me. Too many people are walking around with kidney disease and unaware they have it until they’re in advanced stages and need a transplant. Early detection is critical to prevent this from happening.”…
