REACH
14th Annual Glades REACH Fair Planning Meeting
REACHlogo 
Many of our Glades residents are uninsured or underinsured and do not have a "Medical Home".  Residents lacking a medical home do notreceive consistent, preventative medical care, and only visit the hospital emergency room after they are in more serious medical need - a more costly alternative for the individual and the larger system of care. 
 
We are currently planning our 14th Annual Glades REACH health fair, to be held October 24, 2015 with a goal of encouraging uninsured/underinsured residents to establish a medical home.  The fair will be held simultaneously at the C.L. Brumback Primary Care Clinic in Belle Glade and Florida Community Health Center in Pahokee , (both Federally Qualified Health Centers FQHCs), as we want residents to visit the actual facility that will become their medical home, where they can receive consistent, comprehensive,  preventative medical care.  

WHEN:  Monday, October 12, 2015    9:00 a.m. - 10:30 a.m. 

WHERE: The Glades Initiative, Inc., 141 SE Avenue C, Belle Glade

14th Annual Glades REACH Health Fair

All individuals screened will receive a tote bag. 

Volunteers are needed to assist with conducting these one-on-one interview assessments during Diabetes Week.  Training will be provided - including at least one training in the Glades.  Bilingual volunteers are also needed for sites where a large number of non-English speaking residents are expected.
