Celebrating the Success of the MIRA Health Fair: A Day of Wellness and Community

On Friday, October 25, the MIRA Health Fair transformed Edwards Elementary into a hub of wellness, care, and community connection. This incredible event, held in partnership with over 20 local organizations, brought together hundreds of community members for a day dedicated to health and well-being.

The health fair provided a wide range of free services designed to address the diverse needs of our community. From health screenings to educational resources, attendees had access to tools and information that empower them to take charge of their health.

• Over 200 community members attended the event, underscoring the demand for accessible healthcare in our region.
• Comprehensive health services included blood pressure, glucose, and cholesterol checks, along with dental and vision screenings.
• Mental health support was a key focus, with partners providing counseling and resources to help attendees manage stress, anxiety, and more.
• Nutrition and wellness workshops guided families in making healthier lifestyle choices, with interactive cooking demonstrations and tips on meal planning.
• Child-friendly activities ensured that our youngest attendees were engaged and learning about healthy habits through fun, hands-on experiences.

This health fair was a true community collaboration, with over 20 partners—including local clinics, nonprofit organizations, and government agencies—coming together to make it happen. Each partner played a vital role in delivering a wide spectrum of services, ensuring that no need went unmet.

The MIRA bus, our mobile health clinic, was at the heart of the event, showcasing its capacity to bring healthcare to those who need it most. This event demonstrated how powerful partnerships can be in breaking down barriers to care.

Real Impact, Real Stories

Throughout the day, we heard countless stories of gratitude and transformation. One attendee shared, “I came here for a health check, but I’m leaving with so much more. I feel seen and supported.”

Another family expressed their relief at finally finding affordable health insurance options, thanks to on-site enrollment assistance. For many, the health fair wasn’t just an event—it was a lifeline.

Thank You

We extend our deepest gratitude to the volunteers, partners, and attendees who made the MIRA Health Fair such a success. Together, we’re building a healthier, more connected Eagle County, where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
