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.
