On April 25, the 9Health Fair moves to Sunset Elementary School, at Seventh and Green streets.

It runs from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Free screenings will be offered for breast cancer, finger stick glucose, blood pressure, oral cancer and lung function. The screenings that are offered on the 23rd will also be offered on the 25th at the same costs.
