The 2012 spring 9Health Fairs are just around the corner! Although the traditional "9Days" run from April 21 - 29, we have fairs running as early as March and as late as mid-May. Information about locations, dates, screenings and online registration will be available in February.
According to the 2011 Colorado Health Access Survey, 85% of uninsured Coloradans said they don't have health insurance because it costs too much. You should be able to get the care you need to stay healthy and see a doctor when needed without unpredictable costs and other barriers. Working together, we can move Colorado closer to that common-sense goal. Share your thoughts and ideas with us on Facebook.

"My mom and I went to the 2006 9Health Fair at Aims Community College in Greeley, CO. I hadn't been feeling well so my sister-in-law urged me to go.We went on a Sunday, and that Tuesday I got a call from a nurse who informed me that my thyroid level was less than .01 and that I needed to contact my doctor. I did so right away and had further tests run. I was diagnosed with hyperthyroid and through additional tests, learned that I was suffering from Graves’s disease. Had I not gone to the 9Health Fair, I believe I still would have been seeking help. I am feeling so much better and on the way to recovery. Thank you 9Health Fair staff and volunteers!!!"

As a native to Colorado, Esther served as site coordinator for the Department of Human Services Food Stamp Office 9Health Fair for three years. During those three years, she also participated in the 9Health Fair screenings and learned she had high cholesterol and high triglycerides. Since then, she has worked with her primary care provider to manage these concerns. Esther now sits on the 9Health Fair Community Involvement Committee (CIC). Esther says her favorite thing about 9Health Fair is that it is for everybody, whether you have insurance or not.
