From 365 Health:
Health Fairs by 365 Health, formerly 9Health Fair, will return this September and run through mid-November at more than 25 locations across Colorado, and residents in Edgewater will be able to receive access to free and affordable preventive health screenings and resources on Saturday, Oct. 15 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Filipino American Community Center located at 1900 Harlan St.
“The legacy and deep connection to the community first established by 9Health Fair more than 40 years ago has today grown to include services, tools and resources that help Coloradans stay healthy 365 days a year, and the name 365 Health better represents our organization and its expanded slate of offerings,” said Gary Drews, CEO of 365 Health. “Nevertheless, community health fairs remain an instrumental part of our mission to positively impact the health of Coloradans, and we’re pleased to once again host fairs across Colorado this fall.”
Free and affordable, low-cost health screenings offered at Health Fairs by 365 Health vary from site to site. For more information about Health Fairs by 365 Health and a complete list of health fair locations, dates, times and available screenings offered at each site, visit https://365health.org/healthfair-locations/.
Medical professionals will be on site to offer advice and assistance and help participants to decide which screenings are right for them.
“Many have postponed or skipped preventive health care during COVID-19, and we continue to see a drop off in preventive care and screenings as compared to before the pandemic,” added Drews. “Health screenings are vital to maintaining good health, avoiding future problems or catching them early when they’re easier to treat, and with health care’s rising costs, these free and affordable health screenings are a necessary resource for Coloradans who may lack access to preventive health care or who have high deductible insurance plans or no insurance at all.”
For those unable to attend a health fair, 365 Health and Quest Diagnostics have partnered to offer the same affordable health screenings at Quest Diagnostics Lab Patient Centers (PSC) located across Colorado. No doctor’s visit or insurance is needed.
In response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, health fair volunteers will be required to wear masks, and participants are encouraged to do so as well. While walk-up screenings will be accepted, appointments are recommended.
Each year, 365 Health relies on the dedicated support of volunteers to offer free and affordable health screenings and help improve health awareness. Those interested in volunteering for a community health fair are encouraged to visit https://365health.org/volunteer-1/.
