Sign up for a free mammogram at this Saturday’s June 27 Mountain Communities Health Fair, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. You can put your name on the waiting list. The quartet of wise women at left got the quick test. A health fair mammogram alerted one of them that she had a tumor.

Join your friends and neighbors at the fun and informative Mountain Communities Health Fair, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. this Saturday, June 27 at Frazier Park School. Get brand new, free sneakers and socks for the kids there too.

It can be a wonderful thing to be told by a neighbor that they are alive today because of a free test they had there. I’ve documented four such accounts recenlty. You, too, can keep your family safe by attending the event.

Save time and money by doing on the mountain, for free, what would cost hundreds of dollars and hours of drive time elsewhere.

Check for danger of a stroke—Below, left: Robert ‘Redbeard’ Sanders is getting a blood test at the health fair. A test for blockage of an artery in his neck told him he was in danger of having a stroke. Within a week he was in treatment. “That health fair saved my life,” Redbeard said.
