Gunnison Valley Health CEO Jason Amrich said the events are an important wellness initiative. 

“At Gunnison Valley Health, we are not only committed to providing high quality healthcare services, but we also want to offer education and accessible services to all,” Amrich said. “These blood testing events are one way that we can offer the community access to affordable health screenings.” 

Please note: Beginning in 2025, carotid artery screenings will no longer be offered at these events. This decision was made in collaboration with GVH medical staff and aligns with nationally recognized best practices. 

While carotid artery scans may seem beneficial, they are not routinely recommended for people without symptoms or specific risk factors. In some cases, these scans can lead to false positives, unnecessary anxiety, or follow-up procedures that carry their own risks. If you are concerned about your stroke risk or vascular health, we encourage you to consult with your primary care provider to determine what screenings are appropriate for your individual needs. 

We look forward to seeing you at this year’s events and supporting your health and wellness journey.
