Free health services will be offered at the Palm Springs location for school-aged children 

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. June 25, 2024 – – FoundCare is on a mission to ensure every student starts the new school year with a clean bill of health. On Saturday, July 27, FoundCare will host its annual free Back-to-School Health Fair at 2330 S. Congress Ave., Palm Springs. The event will run from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., offering school-aged children complimentary hearing and vision screenings, school physicals, vaccinations, and backpacks filled with school supplies.

Kicking off National Health Center Week, FoundCare’s pediatric specialists and support team will provide services in English, Spanish, and Creole. Registration is required to attend, and slots are expected to fill quickly. Parents and guardians are encouraged to sign up early, as only a limited number of walk-ins will be accommodated.

“Ensuring every child has a healthy start to the school year is our priority,” said FoundCare CEO, Christopher F. Irizarry. “We strive to alleviate the financial burden on families so children can focus on learning, not on missing school due to health issues.”

Opportunities for sponsorship, underwriting, and vendor participation are available. Interested parties can coordinate by emailing communications@foundcare.org.

To help further its mission to provide quality healthcare and social services for all individuals and families, FoundCare offers pediatric, adult, and geriatric primary care, chronic disease management, behavioral health services, dentistry, laboratory services, women’s health (including screening mammography), X-rays, and an on-site pharmacy. FoundCare’s services are accessible throughout their locations in Palm Beach County, with their Palm Springs health center conveniently offering all services in one location.

FoundCare accepts most insurance plans, Medicaid, Medicare and self-pay on a sliding fee scale based on household size and income.
