April 25th, 2012 – The 9News Health Fair is coming to locations across Colorado from now through mid-May and is expected to serve over 85,000 people across Colorado. You can call their hotline at 303-698-3799 or 800-332-3078 to find locations.
This annual event has become a favorite for people looking to get fairly comprehensive lab work done at a fraction of what it might cost elsewhere. Many of our clients will get the screenings done and then take the results in to review them with their doctor. You must be at least 18 to participate and they take checks and credit cards at most sites in the Denver metro area.
Reminder: Be sure to drink plenty of water before going to make it easier for them to draw blood. Also, it is recommended that you fast (consume no calories) for 12 hours before the Blood Chemistry Screening. However, you may drink coffee or tea with no milk/cream or sugar.
