Health Fairs

Health fairs are a great place to get affordable lab tests and health information! Blood tests typically available at health fairs include prostate screening (PSA) without a doctor’s order. Health fairs are scheduled all over the state: the website has a full list of locations and dates (scroll to the bottom of the page) once they are set for the season.

Selected fairs will include the Us TOO booth where you can speak with a prostate cancer survivor, see if you qualify for a free PSA test, and pick up information. Check back here for updates on where you find the Us TOO booth.

View forward and down of a table covered with a cloth printed with "Alaska Men's Run for prostate and testicular cancer" above artwork in blues representing a group of men running against a background of distant mountains. On the table are various brochures, pens, hats, t-shirts, water bottles, including posters promoting the UsToo support group. There is a backdrop of standing posters with information on prostate screening.
