Health Hub program launches in San Rafael |
More about us |
|
A bi-lingual, multi-cultural “Health Hub” has been launched in San Rafael to provide free nutritious food, nutrition education, health screening and group exercise activities to Marin’s low income residents. The family-oriented weekly event, which is free and open to the public, will be held from 3 pm to 6 pm every Wednesday at Marin Community Clinics’ San Rafael location at 3110 Kerner Blvd. The program is sponsored by LIFT-Levántate and the San Francisco/Marin Food Bank with donated food from Whole Foods, Marin Organic and ExtraFood. “When physicians see patients at our clinics, they make certain they cover the importance of nutrition, exercise, and other health prevention activities,” said Linda Tavaszi, MCC CEO. ”But, they often have no place to refer these individuals for these services. The Health Hub fills that void.” Marin’s first Health Hub began at MCC’s Novato Clinic. The Novato program is held from 3 pm to 6 pm every Thursday.

Health Care Reform has arrived!Since January 2014, most people are required to have health insurance. That brings good news – including the fact that many people who were previously denied Medi-Cal coverage may now be eligible. Medi-Cal has expanded the maximum income level making it easier for individuals to qualify. Marin Community Clinics is now accepting Health Net, Anthem Blue Cross, and Blue Shield of California insurance plans, as well as Medi-Cal and Medicare. Medi-Cal: You may enroll in Medi-Cal anytime. Our enrollment counselors can help you determine if you are eligible, and assist you with your application. Covered CA: If you don’t qualify for Medi-Cal, you may be able to buy insurance through Covered California, the insurance marketplace. Depending on your income, you may qualify for premium assistance to reduce the cost of your insurance. Although open enrollment for Covered California ended March 31, 2014, if you have a Qualifying Life Event, such as marriage, the birth of a baby, or loss of coverage through your job, you may still enroll through Covered CA within 60 days of that event. Our enrollment counselors can answer your questions and assist you with your application. Marin Community Clinics has trained Enrollment Counselors still available to help you make informed decisions about your health coverage, and report changes.
