  • The 2012 spring 9Health Fairs are just around the corner! Although the traditional "9Days" run from April 21 - 29, we have fairs running as early as March and as late as mid-May. Information about locations, dates, screenings and online registration will be available in February.
  • According to the 2011 Colorado Health Access Survey, 85% of uninsured Coloradans said they don't have health insurance because it costs too much. You should be able to get the care you need to stay healthy and see a doctor when needed without unpredictable costs and other barriers. Working together, we can move Colorado closer to that common-sense goal. Share your thoughts and ideas with us on Facebook.

January's Topic: Pain Medication Use & Abuse

One of the greatest challenges in treating afflictions is assessing and monitoring potential abuse of prescribed and over-the-counter medications. Visit the 9Health Topic of the Month page for information on pain medication use and abuse, resources to help you make informed decisions, and how to properly dispose of unused medications.

Getting the information and care you need, when you need it, is important. Making sure everyone has access to health is critical, and working together, we can move closer to that common-sense goal.
