With one person per minute signing up for free health screenings, it was easy to see one of the HealthSmart Expo’s top attractions in action. The first floor of the Gainesville Civic Center was humming Wednesday morning as people were getting their cholesterol, blood pressure and hearing checked. The event runs until 1:30 p.m. And for many attendees, the Greater Hall Chamber of Commerce’s HealthSmart is an annual ritual.
