Health fairs offer a great opportunity to learn about important health topics in an informal setting. Attendees can receive free basic screenings, information and resources, and have their questions answered by health professionals.

Blood screenings at health fairs provide quick, accurate results at a fraction of the usual cost. Please note that although blood testing is a great tool that can help identify problems early, only your healthcare provider sees a complete picture of your health. Sharing your test results with your doctor is recommended.
