October is one of our busiest months for Alaska Health Fairs. We continue to provide pre-scheduled appointment-based services to communities and worksites. October community events include many in Anchorage and Fairbanks, plus Delta Junction, Girdwood, Houston, Juneau, North Pole, Prince of Wales Island, Two Rivers and Valdez and lots of worksite events (not listed).
We continue to ask for masking of event volunteers and participants, as we work around ever-changing circumstances in our communities, state and nation in a safe and effective manner. See our full schedule at http://www.alaskahealthfair.org and look for the city of your choice. Due to unforeseen circumstances, our schedule can change on a
moments’ notice, so please check it frequently.
