Job Fair Was A Great Opportunity

October 14, 2008, Bridges To Wellness participated in the Community Job Fair at the Siloam Springs Community Building. While we were not looking to employ anyone, but instead we had information about continuing health care for those who might be between jobs.

It is very important for everyone to continue to see their doctors, especially if they have a chronic disease. Diabetes care and even high blood pressure are not things to be put off, just because you do not have insurance benefits.

We spoke with lots of people, including the other vendors at the Job Fair. We felt it was a great benefit for all involved. We got the word out that Bridges to Wellness is here to help, especially the underserved population of our region, and we let several people know about St. Francis Clinic. We were surprised that a lot of people did not know it was here in our community to help those who might not have a primary care physician that they can afford to see regularly. St. Francis Clinic is for the working uninsured, but they will see anyone who meets their guidelines and is in their service area. The fees are reasonable enough that most can afford to pay at the time of service.

We just want to keep spreading the word that we are your community Bridge to Wellness!

Until next time,
Joyce
