Creatives: Free Pop-Up Health & Wellness Clinic
Services Available for the 518 Creative Community
Calling all 518 Creatives who need a health check in! How about some free custom hearing protection? Need to get your eyes checked out? Caffe Lena has got you covered. Last year was such a success, they’re bringing back Saratoga Hospital and Hudson Headwaters Health Network volunteers for a Free Pop-Up Health & Wellness Clinic on Sunday, October 22nd from 11am to 2pm.
Volunteer medical professionals will provide testing, evaluation, health & wellness education, as well as assistance obtaining access to ongoing care, free to anyone in the creative community. This includes artists, musicians, designers, photographers, filmmakers, writers, and all others who work in a creative capacity.
Services Include:
- Vision Care Clinic Including Exams and Eyewear
- Custom Molded Earplugs
- Blood Pressure Screening
- Dietician Consultation
- HEPC/HIV Screening
- Insurance Navigation
- Cancer Screening Services
I attended the clinic last year and got my custom molded earplugs and I can tell you firsthand they are amazing, and I use them all the time! And for musicians who are often uninsured or under-insured, this is a great opportunity to get yourself checked out and connected to resources that can help you take care of your health so you can keep on entertaining for years to come!
This clinic is brought to the community through a collaboration of Jill Burnham RN-BCEN of “Mark and Jill Sing the Blues,” Saratoga Hospital, Sight & Sound Vision Care for the Music Industry, Hudson Headwaters, 1of1 Custom earplugs and Caffè Lena.
The goal of this service is to enable individuals in the creative community who are uninsured or underinsured to access healthcare in a trusted environment so they can enjoy the best possible quality of life.
