CHICAGO (July 11, 2023) – The Loretto Hospital is offering free back-to-school immunizations and physicals for uninsured and underinsured families living in the Austin community, now through the end of September. Same-day and walk-in appointments are available. For additional information, call 833-TLH-LOVE.

“Our children are the future of this community,” said Tesa Anewishki, President and CEO of Loretto Hospital. “The ability to access required back-to-school physicals and immunizations should not be a barrier to their success.”

Loretto’s free back-to-school physicals and immunizations are part of the hospital’s community-wide summer screening series. Throughout the months of July, August, and September, Loretto team members will be visiting locations and events throughout Austin to provide a range of free, potentially life-saving services, from blood pressure monitoring to mental health evaluations.

Uninsured and underinsured families living within the zip codes of 60651, 60644, 60624, 60623 and 60612 are eligible for Loretto’s free-back-to-school immunizations and physicals.
