A healthy life is a happy life. At KOAA 5 we believe everyone has a right to know about their overall health and be able to catch potential problems early. So once again KOAA News 5 has teamed up with the 9HealthFair to promote healthy living in Southern Colorado. This year we will provide even more 5Health Fair options.
