"Preventive and corrective care measures are important to one's overall health, yet children and adults sometimes go without screenings and exams during challenging times," said Charles Gladney, Highmark's director of program implementation and development. "This tough economic climate will hopefully prompt people to take advantage of the free services we will be providing."
Since many families do not have insurance or have limited funding for care, health care professionals will volunteer their time at the event to ensure participants receive the care they may need.
"Outreach programs like this are part of our commitment to help enhance the communities we serve," said Woodrow Greene, community outreach coordinator for United Concordia Dental. "As part of the free services we will offer on May 8, we will serve individuals identified as needing care by the Women's Fund of The Foundation for Enhancing Communities."
