Anthem Blue Cross is giving the gift of health to Californians as the Anthem Blue Cross Health care Bus travels the state offering free health evaluations. Launched last year December from the Anthem offices in Woodland Hills, California, the bus will depart on a multi-city tour to include Los Angeles, Ventura, Oxnard, Ojai, Fresno, Sacramento and San Francisco.
"On board the Anthem Blue Cross Health Fair Bus visitors will receive, free-of-charge, a health evaluation consists of a full lipid panel; weight, height and waist measurements; blood pressure test; and Body Mass Index analysis. Together, these tests provide a snapshot of one's personal health," explained Leslie A. Margolin, president of Anthem Blue Cross. "Anthem is committed to the community, offering this service regardless of employment, immigration or insurance status. By proactively empowering individuals with vital, personal, medical information, we are taking an important step toward keeping Californians healthy."
"We're particularly excited about this tour because we'll be reaching several populations that might not necessarily have access to basic primary healthcare," noted Margolin. "For example, in the greater Los Angeles area we are partnering with strong community organizations such as the Urban League, P.A.T.H. (People Assisting the Homeless) and the Kedren Community Mental Health Center -- offering the free health screenings to their constituents. Anthem is committed to improving the lives of the people we serve and the health of our communities."
