Boquete will host the Mae Lewis Health and Wellness Expo on 28 September 2026 at TapOut Sports Zone, with the event programme also naming the town as Boquete. The free afternoon gathering is aimed at international residents in Panama and combines basic health checks with information about using overseas medical cover.
Mae Lewis expo brings health checks to Boquete on 28 September
The expo is scheduled for Monday, 28 September 2026, from 2pm to 6.30pm. Mae Lewis Medical Center is organising the event, which will take place at TapOut Sports Zone in Boquete, Chiriquí Province. Event details for 28 September identify the venue, programme and organiser.
The programme includes a medical consultation, blood pressure reading, capillary blood glucose test and blood oxygen saturation test using pulse oximetry. The checks are basic screening services rather than a full diagnostic assessment. The organiser also plans introductions to its medical professionals, services, equipment and facilities.
Insurance sessions connect the expo with Boquete’s international community
Presentations will cover international health insurance, Medicare Advantage and other foreign insurance plans. The programme includes guidance on checking policy benefits and limitations, verifying cover before treatment and understanding the process for emergency authorisations.
Mae Lewis representatives and international billing partners are due to explain how overseas cover can be used when receiving care in Panama. The event therefore links a practical health programme with the needs of residents and visitors who may rely on insurance issued outside the country. A separate report on the Boquete health expo also identifies the same date, venue and screening services.
Boquete’s mountain setting gives the event a clear local context
Boquete lies in a wooded valley surrounded by the mountains of Chiriquí in north-western Panama. Bajo Boquete, the district’s central town, is crossed by the Caldera River and is surrounded by accommodation, restaurants, local breweries and tour operators.
The Panama Tourism Authority describes the district as a cooler destination, with temperatures ranging from 12°C to 30°C. Coffee farms and biodiversity areas are found around Los Naranjos, while La Amistad International Park and Barú Volcano National Park are among the protected areas connected with the wider district. The health expo is held in the town rather than in those natural areas, making TapOut Sports Zone the relevant location for visitors on 28 September.
