Collin County residents seeking affordable health support will have access to free screenings, CPR instruction, groceries and local service providers at a community health expo in Plano next month.

Health Services of North Texas will host the 5th annual Heart, Mind, and Soul Expo on Saturday, May 2, from noon to 3 p.m. at 5501 Independence Parkway in Plano. The event is free and open to all Collin County residents.

The expo is organised in partnership with the Jack and Jill of America Foundation and the Far North Dallas Chapter of Jack and Jill of America, Inc.

Focus on Cardiovascular and Mental Health

The event is designed to support disadvantaged and underserved residents by offering health education, early detection resources and access to community-based services.

Dr. Cheryl Eley, MD, FAAP, said the expo aims to create an educational, engaging and interactive health fair for people in the surrounding community who may face barriers to care.

She said the programme will focus on cardiovascular and mental health wellness, with an emphasis on improving health outcomes through awareness, prevention and early detection of conditions such as hypertension, heart attacks, strokes, diabetes and obesity.

Free Screenings, CPR Classes and Groceries

Attendees will be able to receive free health screenings and take part in CPR classes during the event. Free groceries will also be available for residents.

Several community organisations are expected to participate, including the City of Plano, Texas STAR and LifePath Systems. Representatives will be available to help residents connect with local services at no cost.

Local Providers and Community Groups to Attend

Vendors at the expo will include mental health resource providers, local healthcare organisations, city and municipal departments and faith-based groups.

Health Services of North Texas, founded in 1988, is a nonprofit healthcare centre with six locations across Denton and Collin counties. The organisation served more than 18,700 patients in 2025.
