Free Health Fair Brought Vital Services to Quartzsite Community

On the morning of Thursday, December 11, a free community health fair opened at the Quartzsite QIA, 235 E. Ironwood Street, drawing residents and seasonal winter visitors between 8 and 11 AM Mountain Standard Time. The event was listed on the Quartzsite chamber site and aimed to connect attendees with community health resources and a range of vendor tables.

Admission to the fair was free, and the chamber event page had offered registration and reminder functionality for those planning to attend. Inside the QIA venue, vendor tables presented information about local health services and community programs, giving attendees an opportunity to gather printed materials and speak with representatives about available care and support. Organizers framed the fair as a local resource event that served both long term residents and the community of winter visitors who travel through Quartzsite each season.

Health fairs like this one play a practical role in La Paz County, where residents often rely on periodic outreach events to learn about services and to make connections with providers outside of regular clinic settings. For winter visitors who may be in the area for only a few months, the fair provided a timely chance to find information on local clinics, public health programs and other supports that may be useful while they are in the community.

The Quartzsite event underscores the value of partnerships between local organizations and community spaces in delivering accessible information to a dispersed population. For people who missed the December 11 fair, the chamber website remains the place to watch for announcements about similar events and resource opportunities in Quartzsite and across La Paz County.
