"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."

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.

IN THE CLASSROOM
We are looking for great schools to host a 9Health Fair In the Classroom event!
 9Health
Fair would like to invite you and your school to participate in our In the Classroom
program. In the Classroom is offered at no charge to any school
in the state of Colorado and bordering cities. Schools may borrow age-appropriate
activities, displays, and resource materials for their fairs which are planned by,
given for, and conducted by the students. With the guidance and support of 9Health
Fair and a school staff advisor, students coordinate health screenings and educational
learning centers for their peers.
Our student health fair program has been in existence since 1982, growing to reach
nearly 25,000 students each year. These events provide students with opportunities
to learn more about their own health, safety issues, teen medical trends, and the
benefits and consequences of choices they make.
Interested? Learn more about the program by investigating the links below:
