Wildwood, NJ — May 28th, 2026 — The Veterans Foundation of America (VFA) is proud to announce its upcoming Veterans Health Fair , generously sponsored by Braven Health. The event will be held on Thursday , May 28, 2026, from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM at the Wildwood Convention Center in conjunction with the State VFW Convention.

This free, community-centered event is dedicated to honoring those who have served by connecting veterans and their families to no-cost health screenings, wellness services,  in a welcoming and supportive environment.

Comprehensive Health Screenings & Veteran Support

Veterans and their families will have access to an extensive range of health screenings and wellness services, including:

“At Veterans Foundation of America, we believe that honoring veterans starts with action — and health is a critical part of that equation,” said Colonel (Ret.) Jeff Cantor, Founder of the VFA. “This event is not just about health care access, it’s about community, gratitude, and proactive wellness for those who served.”

Leaders Standing with Veterans

“Our veterans have sacrificed so much for our country, and it is our responsibility to ensure they receive the care, support, and respect they’ve earned,” said Nilsa Cruz-Perez, New Jersey State Senator. “This Health Fair represents exactly the kind of community action that strengthens the bond between our state and those who defended it.”

“As a Gold Star Mother, I know firsthand the meaning of service and sacrifice,” said Melinda Kane, New Jersey Assemblywoman. “This event is about more than screenings — it’s about showing up for our veterans, ensuring they have access to life-saving care, and honoring their continued contributions to our communities.”

A Partnership for Veteran Wellness

This Veterans Health Fair is made possible through the generosity of Braven Health, with additional support from Cooper University Health, as well as  Deborah Heart and Lung Center under their HeroCare Connect program — organizations committed to improving health outcomes for New Jersey’s veteran community.

This event is conducted in collaboration with community leaders and partners who share a commitment to supporting those who wore the uniform.
