Jennifer Livingston, Nederland. The 9Health and Peak to Peak Human Services Fair was a great success last Saturday, November 16th. Thanks to over 100 volunteers, medical professionals, screeners, informational organization booths and sponsors, over 230 people were able to participate and take advantage of 38 different health screenings and stations. This event is a lifeline for many in this rural and underserved area suffering with income inequalities and difficulty maintaining health insurance and access to care.
