Spring 9Health Fairs Postponed

UPDATE: SPRING 9HEALTH FAIRS HAVE BEEN POSTPONED.

For the last 40 years, 9Health and 9NEWS have maintained a unique partnership focused on keeping Colorado healthy through preventive care and health awareness. Together, we are taking proactive steps to bring our community together and share information to keep Colorado healthy amid growing public interest in the new coronavirus, COVID-19.

We have made the collective decision to postpone the spring 9Health Fairs while pursuing options for health screenings, including at-home health testing kits as well as other alternatives. In collaboration with 9NEWS, we are planning virtual town halls in order to be responsive to community needs. With the initiatives outlined in this plan, we are moving swiftly, but thoughtfully, to ensure we play a leading role in keeping Colorado healthy together.

We launched this landing page and will be updated it frequently to keep Coloradans informed about COVID-19, provide resources, and update you on the status of rescheduled 9Health Fairs.

TOGETHER, 9NEWS AND 9HEALTH ARE KEEPING COLORADO HEALTHY.

• 9NEWS and 9Health will be hosting virtual town halls to help the community separate fact from fiction. Our approach is “facts not fiction,” which means carefully vetting information, focusing on facts and providing context and perspective. We will use interactive Q&A, social media and other digital channels to answer questions and empower the community.


• 9Health is pursuing at-home health testing kits. We know that Colorado communities across the state rely on the 9Health Fair for free/affordable health screenings. In the wake of postponing our spring fairs to later this year, we are looking into options that allow 9Health Fair attendees to continue to receive health awareness through at-home testing kits as well as additional options.


• Through this partnership, we will keep the public informed. 9NEWS is our committed partner in helping us inform the community on the facts and steps people can take to stay healthy. Together we have introduced a new 9Health expert, Dr. Payal Kohli, and you will get to know her well in the coming weeks as we increase her presence on all 9NEWS and 9Health platforms.


• Most importantly, we remain committed to our mission of advancing health awareness across Colorado and providing people with the tools they need to take responsibility for their own health.
