Charlotte Anti-Aging Expo & Symposium Supports Free Clinics

February 24, 2009

CHARLOTTE, N.C., Feb. 24 /PRNewswire/ — The Charlotte-Mecklenburg region
certainly has not been immune to our country’s economic issues. In
Mecklenburg County, the NC Free Clinic Association has seen their highest
demand for services in over 10 years. Sally Gilbert, the creator of
Charlotte’s premier health & wellness event, the Charlotte Anti-Aging Expo &
Symposium, wants to do something about that.

“We can all have a vibrant and healthy lifestyle. But that scenario is
becoming increasingly difficult for residents right here in Charlotte and the
surrounding region. I want to assist health service professionals who already
volunteer so much of their time and talents in helping others get and stay
healthy,” Gilbert says.

With that, Gilbert has pledged a portion of each ticket sale from the
Anti-Aging Expo & Symposium to be donated to the North Carolina Free Clinics,
benefiting Mecklenburg County. April Cook, Executive Director of the
Huntersville Free Clinic says, “We can’t tell you how much we really
appreciate you thinking of us. Any donation, as a result of the ticket sales,
will certainly go a long way in helping the uninsured in our community.”

The Charlotte Anti-Aging Expo & Symposium acts as a health consumer
advocate. The expo connects individuals to health experts through
experiencing products and services live, learning from world-class experts
speak on the latest health topics, and providing the opportunity to talk
one-on-one with health and wellness leaders. The event will be held on
Saturday, March 28, 2009, and features many local experts including Lake
Norman Wellness Center, Carolina Healthspan Institute, and Carolinas Natural
Health Centers, for example. In addition to many health products and
services, there is a synergistic blend of M.D’s, D.O.’s and N.D’s, including
nurse practitioners, nutritionists and physical therapists. Visit
www.CharlotteAntiAgingExpo.com for complete details.
