Alaska Health Fair, Inc. wraps up its spring health fairs this month at various locations around the state. The health fairs offer free health screenings and education, low cost blood tests and can help you learn about your health and detect potential problems early, when treatment or changes in personal habits can be most effective. The test results give you and your health care provider important information about your physical condition and vital organ functions.

Remember, if you plan on any tests requiring a blood draw, drink lots of water ahead of time.

Test results are mailed to you in approximately two weeks.
