Health Fair Registration Now Open

Active and retired participants can now pre-register for an upcoming health fair in one of five Washington cities. Medical eligibility is required. Spouses and eligible dependents are invited as well. Registration closes several weeks prior to each event so plan ahead.

Health fairs offer easy access to preventive health screenings and flu shots. Everything is paid 100% by the Carpenters Health and Security Plan. There is no out-of-pocket cost for the following services:

  • Chemistry/Hematology Profile: A screening for kidney function, liver enzymes, electrolyte imbalance, diabetes, coronary heart disease and more.
  • Thyroid Screening: An important screening for the gland that regulates the way your body uses energy.
  • Prostate Disease Screen: A blood test to screen for prostate cancer, offered to men 40 and older.
  • Flu Shots: Quadrivalent flu shots are available for individuals 9 and older. The vaccine cannot cause influenza illness. A high dose-vaccine is not available.

A small sample of blood must be drawn for screenings, which will require fasting 10 to 12 hours. Fasting means you cannot eat or drink anything except water before your appointment.

Pre-registration is required prior to the event in order to receive services at the fair. It will set an appointment for your blood draw so you don’t have to wait long. Flu shots are available without appointment but pre-registration is still required. Visit: www.coalitionhealthfair.org

Health fairs are sponsored by the Pacific Health Coalition, a multi-state group of independent health plans including the Carpenters Health and Security Plan of Western Washington.
