Mind Body Fest, an event for families impacted by cancer, is a “relaxing and restorative experience,” according to organizers.
The event will take place from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. May 16 at Wellness House, 131 N. County Line Road, in Hinsdale.
Deb Kwiatt, public relations and media manager for Wellness House said Mind Body Fest was “created especially for cancer survivors and caregivers.”

A Hinsdale non-profit is trying to change that.
Wellness house supports thousands of cancer patients each year, with counseling, classes and moral support.
