Featuring a Free Health Screening Event
Congresswomen Judy Chu and Community Health Alliance of Pasadena (ChapCare) will kick off National Health Center Week with a free health screening event at the new health center (ChapCare Lime) located in Monrovia, CA. ChapCare’s state-of-the-art facility brings a range of much-needed, primary healthcare services to the underrepresented, underserved, and underinsured families in the cities of Monrovia, Duarte, and Arcadia.
National Health Center Week recognizes the services and contributions of community, migrant, homeless, and public housing health centers.
This years’ theme of “Celebrating our Legacy, Shaping the Future” celebrates the long success in providing access to affordable, high-quality, cost effective health care to medically vulnerable and underserved people throughout the United States.
On Aug. 8, 2015, ChapCare medical professionals will provide free health screenings for the whole family.
From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., preventative and health maintenance screenings will include body mass index, blood sugar, blood pressure, dental, vision, and health insurance.
ChapCare’s new Monrovia facility is conveniently located at 513 E. Lime Avenue, Suite 101, Monrovia, CA 91016, just 4 blocks from downtown Monrovia.
ChapCare provides low- or no-cost health services (Medi-Cal, Medicare, and My Health LA) and accepts many Covered California and private insurance plans.
“This one-stop-shop offers the community the opportunity to access a comprehensive array of high-quality primary healthcare services all under one roof,” said Margaret B. Martinez MPH, ChapCare’s Chief Executive Officer. “We are proud to be able to expand our nationally recognized primary health care model to the City of Monrovia and its surrounding communities.”
