Organizations promote healthy living at Black Wellness Expo. ERIC TAUNTON Mar 7, 2026 Families walked from table to table Saturday, educating themselves on how to take care of their minds, bodies, and spirits. Rosalind Huggins of Toledo talked to representatives from Mercy Health, the Area Office on Aging of Northwestern Ohio, and CareSource during the third annual Toledo Chapter of the Links' Black Wellness Expo held at Ella P. Stewart Academy. "They don't know about the resources," Ms. Huggins said of some members of the Black community. "This way, they get the resources, they know what's going on so they can take better care of themselves." The expo is meant to address health and economic inequities in the Black community by educating people on how to be holistically healthy, which means taking care of the mind, body, and spirit, said Anne-Marie Brown, program coordinator for the Links' Toledo chapter. The Links, Incorporated is an international nonprofit dedicated to enriching and ensuring the cultural and economic survival of people of African ancestry, according to its website. Representatives of various local organizations talked to residents in the school's gym about their respective programs and shared information on Alzheimer's disease, diabetes, sickle cell disease, breast cancer prevention, suicide prevention, and aging. The expo also featured free cholesterol health screenings and voter registration assistance. "We're promoting healthy living, awareness, and improving the health of the community," Ms. Brown said. Ms. Huggins visited a dozen tables during the expo. As a diabetic, it's important to stay on top of her health, she said, but having medical knowledge to help those around her is just as important. Ms. Huggins used pregnancy as an example. "A lot of people don't know depression comes after pregnancy," she said. Darla Barnett, health connections director at the YWCA of Northwest Ohio, handed out forms for free mammograms and talked to residents about breast cancer prevention. "This is like a pedestal for the community," Ms. Barnett said at the table, which was covered with free pens, refrigerator clips, and candy. "The only way we can provide [help] is through each other, with resources we have for each other," she said. "This is just one of the resources we can provide for the community. I think it's important to make sure, overall, we're healthy." Susan Zirkel, community health program coordinator for Mercy Health, handed out flyers for programs that deal with diabetes, chronic diseases, and suicide. Mercy's Starting Fresh program, for example, is a free five-week program that shares how to manage diabetes and general knowledge about the disease. "It's [about] mind, body, and spirit - the whole thing," Ms. Zirkel said. "If you're not taking care of your physical health, that's going to lead to things that make you feel down, that you're not living up to your potential. If you're not taking care of your spiritual health or your emotional health, that's going to affect your physical health." Diana Johnson of Toledo received information about sickle cell disease and pregnancy. Some of the resources weren't just for her but were also for the people she cares about, Ms. Johnson said. "I'm not pregnant, but I know someone that's pregnant," Ms. Johnson said. "[Representatives] gave me the information. I asked for the information and got it for her and I'm going to make sure I get it for her."

CareSource awarded $2.3M tax credit for proposed Dayton job expansion. CareSource is proposing to create 167 full-time jobs in Dayton with the help of a state tax credit. Ohio is competing with Georgia, Mississippi and Nevada for the project. The Dayton-based insurance company currently employs more than 5,000 people across the U.S. with insurance plans covering more than 2 million citizens. CareSource's expansion project would generate more than $12.5 million dollars in annual payroll. It involves expanding existing headquarters to support back-office needs and accommodate growth from new markets, according to state documents. The Ohio Tax Credit Authority approved a 1.711%, 10-year Job Creation Tax Credit for the project. These credits are performance-based, making their actual value reflective of the jobs created and new payroll tax generated. An Ohio official told WYSO it is estimated the value of the proposed tax credit project is close to $2.3 million. CareSource's proposed project is among 17 projects have been approved across the state of Ohio to create jobs and generate over $1.1 billion in investments.
