February 17th, 2013 – The 2013 9News Health Fair is coming to 140 locations across Colorado starting on March 16th and running through May 5th. The 9News Health Fair will serve over 90,000 people across Colorado.
This annual event has become a favorite for people looking to get fairly comprehensive lab work done at a fraction of what it might cost elsewhere. Many people get the screenings done and then take the results in to review them with their doctor.
You must be at least 18 to participate and they take checks and credit cards at most sites in the Denver metro area. Reminder: Be sure to drink plenty of water before going to make it easier for them to draw blood.

I’m very thankful for the 9 news health fair and the affordable tests given. I have been to the fair for the past three years and find they are very well organized and good at what they do. The blood draw has people of various degrees of experience but my experience has been positive and there was a experienced person there to help if needed. Thank you nine news and all the people that take their time to make this happen.
Me too! It’s a wonderful community outreach project that has helped so many people. Remember to drink plenty of water before you go, as being well hydrated helps make the blood draw process easier. Thanks Gail!
Thx for having this fair yearly
I have always gotten notification by mail of upcoming 9 Health Fair but seem to have been overlooked this year. Sadly the opportunity has passed. Can I be notified next year of dates and locations please? Thank you, Christie Greer
You can find the link to locations here and you might want to put a note on your calendar to check early next year, so you don’t miss out. Thank you!
