Cover the Uninsured Week Draws Attention

HMHP Plans Activities to Help the Uninsured
The problem of the uninsured is continuing to grow. The federal government estimates that 47 million individuals lacked health insurance coverage of any kind during 2006.
Nearly 20 percent of uninsured Americans - 8.7 million individuals - are children. Health insurance is particularly important for children. Uninsured children are more likely than insured children to lack a source of health care, to go without needed care and to experience worse health outcomes.
In an effort to draw attention to this national crisis, April 27 through May 3 has been designated Cover the Uninsured Week, a nonpartisan campaign to focus attention on the need to secure health coverage for all Americans.
Helping Kids Get Covered
Locally, Humility of Mary Health Partners' St. Joe's at the Mall will distribute Cover the Uninsured Week materials, as well as a flier detailing the application process for enrolling children in SCHIP (State Children's Health Insurance Program). A representative from the Mahoning Valley Covering Kids Coalition will be at St. Joe's at the Mall on the following dates to assist parents in enrolling their children in SCHIP:
· May 9 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.
· May 15 from 1 to 4 p.m.
· May 24 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.
· May 29 from 1 to 4 p.m.
St. Joe's at the Mall is located in the Eastwood Mall, Niles, next to Sears.
Men's Health Tune-up
St. Elizabeth Health Center will sponsor a health screening program for uninsured men ages 40 to 64 from 8 to 11 a.m. June 7 at the St. Elizabeth Family Health Center, 1053 Belmont Ave., Youngstown, across from St. Elizabeth Health Center.
Entitled Men's Health Tune-up, the free program will include screenings for cholesterol (12-hour fast required), blood pressure and body fat. Men ages 50 to 64 can participate in a prostate cancer screening.
Participants will also have the opportunity to talk to a physician, pharmacist, and diabetes educator, as well as obtain information on healthy eating, advance directives and smoking cessation.
This program is for men who have no Medicare, Medicaid or insurance coverage. Registration is required by May 30 by calling the Humility of Mary Healthline at 330-480-3151 or toll-free 1-877-700-4647. Parking is free and light refreshments will be served.

Troop 25 to Retire U.S. Flags

Boy Scout Troop 25 will be retiring Unites States flags at a special ceremony on May 17, 2008.  The community is invited to observe the ceremony, which will begin at 4:00 pm at Champion Christian Church on Center Street, and will continue until all flags have been retired.  The ceremony will be based on the United States Flag Code, which reads, "The flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning."
Anyone who has flags to be retired can bring them to Troop 25 members on May 17^th at Champion Christian Church, or on May 26^th after the Memorial Day Parade near the Old Schoolhouse.
Boy Scout Troop 25 is chartered by Champion Christian Church, and meets weekly throughout the year.
