http://ping.fm/NgzyG It's almost April, and once again the annual 9 News Health Fair is coming to Highlands Ranch, Littleton and many other Colorado locations. Each fair offers free and low-cost health education and medical follow-up for residents of local Colorado communities. These fairs are staffed by volunteer Registered Nurses, physicians and other medical professionals with the goal of providing health screenings to anyone who would like to participate. In addition to health screenings, the 9 News Health Fair offers interactive educational health care awareness.
Over 25 screenings are available for Colorado residents age 18 and over, with results delivered to participants 3 to 6 weeks after each fair. If a participant has critical health issues, they will receive a phone call within 72 hours of their screenings.
