Pennsylvania Celebrates "Take A Loved One To Doctor Day"

“Nearly 800,000 Pennsylvanians lack health insurance and a recent Department of Health survey found that 11 percent of Pennsylvania adults opted not to go to the doctor when they needed to in the past year because they couldn’t afford it,” said Dr. Johnson. “Governor Rendell is committed to making health care affordable and accessible for all Pennsylvanians, and ‘Take a Loved One to the Doctor Day’ is just one way in which we can make that happen.”

Participating State Health Centers will offer in-person health assessments, blood pressure screenings, body mass index calculations and other health education information.-Pennsylvania health Department
