Health Fairs & Affordable Blood Tests
Serving Alaskans since 1980
Why go to Health Fairs?
Alaska Health Fair, Inc. is a nonprofit organization delivering health fairs since 1980. AHF events offer a great opportunity to learn about important health topics in an informal setting. Attendees can receive free basic screenings, obtain information and resources, and have their questions answered by health, wellness, and safety professionals. Health fairs are also a great way to connect with local health and wellness resources.
Most importantly, AHF events feature comprehensive, affordable blood tests. Obtaining blood screenings at health fairs is a great way to get quick, accurate results at a fraction of the cost. AHF works with the same leading clinical laboratories that are serving local providers and hospitals, making comprehensive blood screenings available to all Alaskans at nonprofit pricing. Please note that although blood testing is a great tool that can help identify problems early, only your healthcare provider sees a complete picture of your health. AHF recommends that you share test results with your doctor. We look forward to seeing you at our health fairs!
