The
2011 9Health Fair fall dates have been announced. Golden will hold a Family 9Health Fair on October 15th. The
Tri Lakes Family 9Health Fair in Monument will be on October 29th, and
Commerce City will host "Feria de Salud", a two-day fair, November 5th
and 6th.These family-oriented
events include many FREE and low-cost screenings for adults and
children.Flu shots also are available for the whole family.
Even if you have some form of insurance, you can't beat the price of the 9Health
screenings for blood pressure, high cholesterol, etc., or their pap
smears, breast exams, prostate checks, oral, hearing, foot and skin
checks. Low-cost health tests include a Blood Chemistry Screening
($30), PSA Screening for men ($25), Blood Cell Count Screening ($15),
and the take-home Colon Cancer Screening kit ($20). Each site also
offers a medical professional with whom you can discuss health-related
questions. In 2011, a number of sites will offer the Vitamin D ($40)
and Hemoglobin A1C ($25) screening. Hemoglobin AIC screenings are a
standard tool that determines blood sugar. The Exempla St. Joe's Mammogram van also will be at the fair Nov. 6 and more info on that here..
This is an incredibly well-organized event and the lines move FAST (although we urge you to get there early. Bundle up, because fall mornings can be chilly). We urge everyone to take advantage of a Family 9Health Fair this fall. Results are mailed directly
to your home for you to share with your doctor. Volunteer doctors and
nurses will call within 72 hours of your tests if a critical issue is
discovered. No social security number or personal ID is required. For more information check out their website
