If you don’t have health insurance yet, you’re running out of time to get it, or you may face penalties. Parkland Health Center invites you to explore your options on the Health Insurance Market Place this Thursday, March 6, and enjoy some free health screenings while you’re here.
From Noon until 2:00 p.m. on March 6, Parkland Health Center will offer free blood pressure checks, blood sugar checks and cholesterol screenings. Parkland will also offer a limited number of screening mammograms for $25 for women who are currently uninsured.
If you need health insurance, our Certified Application Counselor (CAC) will be available to walk you through your options on the Health Insurance Market Place. The Affordable Care Act has set a deadline of March 31 to secure health insurance coverage, or individuals may incur penalties.
The event is free of charge, for anyone interested. Health screenings and health insurance counseling will take place near the new location for Parkland’s Wound and Diabetic Care Centers (where the old emergency department used to be).
Parkland Health Center is part of BJC HealthCare which also includes St. Louis Children’s Hospital and Barnes-Jewish Hospital, the teaching hospitals for Washington University School of Medicine. For additional information about Parkland Health Center, please call (573) 756-6451 or the physician finder service at (573) 431-3338 or visit www.parklandhealthcenter.org.
