Health fairs return with fall schedule

September is an active month for Alaska Health Fair with numerous opportunities to participate in health education and affordable blood and health screenings. We invite you to join our staff at any of these community-based events across various regions of the state, whether you attend to receive services, volunteer to help us serve the public or share a mission by exhibiting. To learn more about these free events and to see the schedule for later this fall, visit our website at http://www.alaskahealthfair.org.

Details of fall events are subject to change, so verify dates and locations on our website before traveling to events. Calling an Alaska Health Fair office to pre-schedule your appointment is highly recommended. We are taking walk-ins this season, as space and time permits at most venues, but it is always best to pre-schedule.

We are excited to announce that we have added three more tests to our blood test roster: Celiac disease, magnesium and uric acid. See our website for the complete roster of affordable, private tests.
