"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."

“My wife and I have been going to [the] 9Healthfair for many years in several different towns in Colorado, so it plays a big part in our lives. In April of 2003, we went again to have our annual blood screening but this time mine came back a little different. My PSA number came in a little high with a suggestion to make an appointment with my doctor. With further evaluation I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. I had no previous symptoms. I was given several options but at my age of 51, surgery was the best for me. As you can see 9Healthfair saved my life. My family and I are so grateful for the services available to all of our communities. 9Health Fair is great and I am looking forward to many more 9fairs.”

GUIDELINES for a Successful Student Health Fair
- 1. Select an adult advisor interested in health education and/or community service. Keep in mind that hosting a student fair will require a fair amount of preparation time by the advisor and the students.
- Select 10 to 20 responsible student leaders to plan and conduct a quality fair for your school (Student Council, Key Club, Medics Club, leadership groups, etc.). These students must be given appropriate release time for training, planning, and implementation.
- Select a medical professional who will be available to assist with the medical screenings, training, student concerns, and supervision at the fair.
The In the Classroom program is a leadership opportunity for your students to interface with the community by recruiting organizations and volunteers to be involved in their fair. Adult encouragement and interest is essential to their success.
