“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.”

Seven months after her father passed away from a heart attack, Mickie went to a 9Health Fair. Her blood screening results indicated that her cholesterol levels were high. She went to her doctor who referred her to a cardiologist. An angiogram showed a partial blockage in her artery. Since then, she has made important changes in her life – she is on medication, receives regular checkups and goes to 9Health Fair every year - except last year to attend her son’s wedding! She believes 9Health Fair helped save her life and prevented her from suffering a heart attack like her father.

Health Screening Partners Overview
 Each year, 9Health Fair collaborates with professional healthcare organizations and associations for the development of health screenings conducted at the In the Community health fairs. These groups referred to as our "Health Screening Partners" share the responsibility of bringing the expertise of their specialty and providing professional staff to many Metro Denver and statewide 9Health Fair sites.
9Health Fair partners with organizations that represent the finest in their specialty fields and that share our mission of promoting health awareness and encouraging individuals to assume responsibility for their own health.
Our Health Screening Partners have a state-wide presence, in that their membership reaches all of the community of Colorado. Accordingly, each partner organization reviews, revises or develops the medical protocol appropriate to the skill of their profession or specialty. Many professional organizations perform screenings at various 9Health Fair sites as a means of giving back to their community. Working with the 9Health Fair staff, associations recruit from among their members and colleagues to provide these valuable professional services at various 9Health Fair sites.
