“My thyroid level was really high and 9Health Fair tried, but couldn’t reach me by phone. So, through their follow up process, 9Health Fair expedited my results to my house and included a cover letter saying that I had to seek immediate medical attention. I can’t tell you how much I appreciated their persistence in tracking me down.”

"I’m proud to be part of the foundation that brought 9Health Fair to Colorado communities. It gives me a great sense of purpose, particularly in the rural communities. I’m the lucky one. I get back far more than I give."

MEDICAL Advisory Committee
 Unique to 9Health Fair, the Medical Advisory Committee (MAC) is comprised of Colorado's top health care providers and allied health care professionals, who guide 9Health Fair in providing quality and evidence-based health screenings and education to our community. Because of the MAC, 9Health Fair is endorsed by the Colorado Medical Society, the Colorado Nurses Association and the Colorado Health and Hospital Association. The MAC creates, reviews, and approves all 9Health Fair medical screening protocols, as well as reviews all Interactive Educational Center requests. Through quarterly evaluation and follow up of statistical data and screening results, the MAC ensures that all 9Health Fair screenings meet the following criteria:
- Have sound scientific and medical basis
- Are useful in terms of identifying at-risk individuals or disease in a large population
- Screenings and/or materials must promote good health and health education, and they must be free of commercial or self-promotional interest
- Screenings can be implemented on an efficient basis
- The information provided to participants can be appropriately followed up within the health care system so that participants are integrated into the existing system
9Health Fair screening protocols comply with these stringent criteria and undergo periodic evaluation to ensure practical implementation: they must serve the goal of promoting good health and health education of Coloradans, they cannot exist in a vacuum and they must be woven into the fabric of health care systems throughout Colorado. The MAC works diligently to involve health care providers as active 9Health Fair members and to ensure quality screenings and follow up are provided to 9Health Fair participants.
