Our Story
Alaska Health Fair has been serving Alaska for generations, since 1980. We are the providers of the original Health Fair, a unique event model where people can access free health education, screenings, and affordable blood tests. Today, Alaska Health Fair has two office locations – in Anchorage and in Fairbanks – and conducts close to 100 community events annually. Around 35,000 people attend our events in Anchorage, Juneau, Fairbanks and many other communities each year.
Alaska Health Fair, Inc. is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization. Our primary source of funding are charitable donations. Thank you for supporting our mission! Thank you for keeping Alaskans healthy!
