Sinai Chicago hosted a health fair at Mount Sinai Hospital on Tuesday morning, which was free and open to the public. The day included informational sessions focused on health and support services offered by Sinai Chicago for Medicare patients. Screenings for blood pressure, diabetes, glucose and cholesterol were also provided free of charge. The health fair aimed to help participants better understand Medicare and how it may impact them by including on-site health plans to answer questions and help individuals prepare for enrollment when eligible. Health plan representatives on site included Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois, Cigna Healthcare, Humana, Molina Healthcare, United Healthcare, Wellcare Health Plans and Zing Health. The health fair is the one of a number of activities Sinai Chicago offers that promote community health and wellness. “Healthcare is one of the most basic needs in our society, but unfortunately, many Americans face barriers to getting the care they need,” said Karen Janousek, Vice President & Chief Population Health Growth Officer of Sinai. “Resources like Medicare help fill in some of these gaps, but dealing with the program’s logistics can be confusing. The health fair is about clarifying the process and how to access resources to improve the health and well-being of those all across our community. We encourage community members to come spend the day with us and enjoy all that the health fair has to offer.”
