- Katie Schrodter.
"Already with a larger number of exhibitors than ever before, we're predicting to also have a record breaking number of visitors through the doors which is fantastic news for the health of the region."
With extra floor space at the Mount Isa Civic Centre, the capacity is expected to reach 45 exhibitors at the biennial event.
Exhibitors include all service providers and businesses from the health, fitness or well being sectors.
"Collaboratively our health services cover as far and wide as Mornington Island to Dajarra, from Camooweal to Julia Creek and many places in between." said Health Expo Working Group chair Lisa Davies Jones.
"This will be the fourth hosting of the event and with its growing reputation there is a great deal of enthusiasm from our partners and all involved."
Highlights include appearances by Aboriginal body building champion and Deadly Choices ambassador Rhonda Purcell.
