Free medical care right under your nose? It’s true!
Laura Adams, MBA

- Flu and pneumonia shots
- Routine vaccinations
- Cancer screenings
- Blood pressure, diabetes, and cholesterol tests
- Well-baby and well-child visits up to age 21
- Healthy lifestyle counseling
Find out more from your health plan administrator, insurer, State insurance department, or healthcare.gov.
