“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.”

"My husband and I attended the 9Health Fair in April of 2004 at the Susan M Duncan YMCA in Arvada. We had gone through most of the stations and were on our way out when we saw the line for skin screenings. It was shorter that usual so we decided to stop and get checked. Thank GOD we did. I was checked by the doctor who noticed a dark freckle on my left arm and a spot on my face; she recommended that both areas be checked by my doctor. I had the freckle on my arm removed and sent off to the lab. It was melanoma! It was .3mm deep so it was caught early. I will have to manage this for the rest of my life but now that I am educated, it will help me through any future incidents. While my doctor had a watch on this freckle, it was the 9Healthfair that recommended further inspection and treatment and may have saved my life. I will always be thankful to the 9Health Fair.”

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.
