Free health services will be hosted at the Palm Springs location for school-aged children
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – It’s back to the books, but not without a checkup first! On Saturday, August 6, FoundCare is returning with its free back-to-school health fair at its 2330 South Congress Ave, Palm Springs location. From 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., school-aged children can receive hearing and vision screenings, school physicals, vaccines and a backpack filled with school supplies.
Kicking off National Health Center Week, parents or guardians can register their children on site between 8 a.m. and 12 p.m. or can pre-register online. FoundCare’s pediatric specialists and support team are ready to serve young patients in English, Spanish, Creole and French. Patients will be seen on a first-come first-served basis.
“Every child deserves a healthy start to the new school year,” said FoundCare CEO, Chris Irizarry. “It is our calling to give children and families the best shot at a healthy and successful year without the financial strain. Kids should not subsequently find themselves absent from the classroom because they didn’t have access to quality healthcare.”
Sponsorship, underwriting, and vendor opportunities are available for this event and can be coordinated by emailing [email protected].
To help further its mission to provide quality healthcare and social services for all individuals and families, FoundCare offers pediatric, adult, and geriatric primary care, chronic disease management, behavioral health services, dentistry, laboratory services, women’s health (including screening mammography), X-rays, and an on-site pharmacy. FoundCare’s services are accessible throughout their locations in Palm Beach County, with their Palm Springs health center conveniently offering all services in one location.
FoundCare accepts most insurance plans, Medicaid, Medicare and self-pay on a sliding fee scale based on household size and income.
