Volunteer Opportunity Details:

The next Juneau Community Health Fair is scheduled to take place Saturday October 3, 2009, from 9:30am to 2pm at the Nugget Mall. The community health fairs are organized by the Alaska Health Fair Inc., a non-profit agency that organizes health fairs with a community. The Juneau health fair is only one of 120 health fairs held annually across the state.

AK Health Fair Inc. is not a state or government agency, nor does it receive any state or government funding. Since 1980 AHF Inc. has been able to bring free health screenings and low cost blood tests to hundreds of different communities in the state of Alaska. This is only possible because of the many committed and devoted volunteers and generous sponsors in each Alaskan community.

Without volunteers, sponsors and partners in each community, health fairs would not and could not happen. Every person helping at a health fair is a volunteer.

Volunteers, medical and non-medical, are needed to make the 2009 Fall Juneau Community Health Fair a success. Volunteers are a critical part of the Health Fair, they allow Alaska Health Fair, Inc. to serve in communities at no cost to participants. Both medical and non-medical volunteers are essential for a successful fair. Non-medical volunteers help with registration, vision testing, height and weight measurements and many other jobs throughout the duration of the fair. Medical volunteers capable of performing blood draws are needed as well as nurses, physician assistants and other medical personal to provide evaluation and checkout screening to review the participants health form, re-check blood pressure, respond to health questions and make referrals to local resources as needed.
