Klamath Falls, OR – The annual Living Well Health Fair is set to take place on Saturday, May 16, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Linman Hall/Exhibit Hall 1 at the Klamath County Fairgrounds, 3531 S. Sixth St. Now in its 25th year, this free event provides a unique opportunity for the community to access a variety of health resources, screenings, and interactive activities.
Among the key offerings, free cholesterol and blood glucose screenings will be available. To obtain the most accurate results, attendees are advised to fast 8-12 hours prior to testing. Additionally, Cascades East Family Medicine physicians and Sky Lakes Primary Care Providers will be present to interpret results at no charge, ensuring participants leave with a clear understanding of their health status.
“The Living Well Health Fair is all about making health approachable, engaging, and accessible for everyone,” said Casey Bennett, Director at Sky Lakes Wellness Center. “It’s an opportunity for our community to explore local resources, connect with care teams, and take simple, meaningful steps toward better health—reflecting our mission to inspire human potential through wellness.”
This year’s event will also feature large-scale educational exhibits, including an inflatable lung model presented by Healthy Klamath, which aims to highlight respiratory health concerns such as the effects of smoking, lung disease, and air quality on overall lung function. This interactive exhibit allows attendees to walk through and learn about lung health in an engaging, visual manner.
Additionally, OHSU Knight Cancer Institute will bring an inflatable colon, designed to educate the community on colorectal health, including the importance of screenings for colon cancer, recognizing symptoms, and understanding prevention strategies. These larger-than-life displays make it easier for individuals to grasp the inner workings of these vital organs and the impact of lifestyle choices on their health.
Various community partners will be on-site, offering demonstrations and resources that cover mental health, physical health, aging, substance use disorders, and so much more.
There are a lot of community events happening on May 16th. Make sure the Living Well Health Fair is one of your list of stops. This year, stay and enjoy lunch from one of the food trucks. For more information, visit skylakes.org/healthfair or follow updates on social media.
