After 43 Years, Colorado’s 9Health Fair is No Longer Happening

Sep 1, 2023, 4:18 PM

When you think about things that have made a true positive impact in the lives of people in our community, it’s hard to think of anything that’s done that more than Colorado’s 9Health Fair. As the fair rolled through local elementary schools, community centers, and other spots over the last 43 years it’s likely helped hundreds of thousands of Coloradans, maybe more. 

As they say though, all good things eventually come to an end… The 9Health Fair, which was re-branded to 365 Health awhile back, announced that after 43 years, the organization would be shutting down.

‘It is with mixed emotions that we announce the closure of 365 Health,’ said John Kelley, Vice Chair of the 365 Health Board. ‘We are incredibly proud of the positive changes we have brought to countless lives in our community. However, the decision to close was reached after thorough evaluation of the challenges we face in continuing to meet evolving needs in a sustainable manner.’

On behalf of all the Coloradan’s who got free advice or tests that helped them live healthier, or maybe even found out something that saved their life, THANK YOU to everyone who was involved in making the 9Health Fair a true gem in our community for over four decades!
