The 2026 Archuleta Health Fair & Expo is almost here!
Join us on Saturday, October 24, 2026, for the 4th annual Health Fair, offering accessible healthcare resources, low-cost preventive labs, adult vaccinations, and direct access to local health providers, engaging community organizations, and health-focused vendors. Held at Pagosa Springs High School from 7:00am to 12:00pm, the event aims to promote access to preventive medicine, giving residents a convenient place to prioritize their long-term health.
Low Cost Labs
Blood Draws are administered from 7:00am – 10:00am sharp. To ensure a smooth experience and minimize wait times, community members are strongly encouraged to pre-register on Healthy Archuleta’s website prior to the event. Pre-registration allows attendees to select their preferred lab options, which include a Wellness Panel ($20) covering CMP, CBC, lipid profile, A1c, and TSH, PSA testing for men ($6), and Vitamin D levels ($16). Online preregistration also enables you to complete necessary paperwork in advance and secure your lab draw time slot.
Additionally, participants can connect with local health care providers and schedule follow-up appointments to review results. Follow-up appointments will help participants interpret their numbers, answer questions, and discuss personalized steps to maintain or improve their health.
On-Site Screenings and Vaccinations
We are fortunate to have expert local, regional, and statewide healthcare professionals traveling to the fair to provide valuable health checks, including breast exams, blood pressure, eye pressure, hearing and dental assessments, as well as colorectal cancer screening information, among others. The CDPHE Mobile Adult Vaccine Clinic will be on-site and open from 8:00am to 12:00pm providing vaccines for adults. Vaccines are offered at no cost to uninsured and underinsured Coloradans, while insured attendees can utilize covered coverage options on-site.
In addition to all of the amazing health benefits offered, there is also much more. Dozens of regional vendors, regional non-profits, pediatric resources, mental and behavioral health support groups, and financial health advisors will staff interactive booths throughout the health fair.
All are welcome to attend this health-focused community event and take advantage of all these amazing opportunities to improve your health. Register today on Healthy Archuleta’s website, www.foodcoalition4archuleta.org. As a reminder, labs are only available between 7am and 10am. Please register early to confirm your appointment time.
