Senior Voice -

Alaska Health Fair is almost at the end of the fall season. During November, we will offer services on certain dates in Anchorage and Fairbanks, and will continue to provide services until the second week of December. 

Our offices will be closed for some days in late November for Thanksgiving, and from Dec. 21 through Jan. 1, for the holidays. We will reopen on Jan. 4 to start preparing for an active spring 2021 season. 

We continue to work through COVID, providing Alaskans affordable, comprehensive, private blood tests, as safely as possible. We have followed an approved State of Alaska Essential Services Plan since May.
