| Greetings Berean: For your information, we have more Flu Shot vouchers (no charge) that can be utilized at any Walgreen's "Take Care Clinic." According to Centers For Disease Control and Prevention, 50% of people get the flu during the month of February. Therefore, it is not too late for the flu shots. We have distributed over 30, and I have that many more for distribution (no gas cards this time). I will have them available Monday evening at Galilee. A hearty thanks to the Nurses Foundation. In addition, anyone with Diabetes wishing to take advantage of a free in-home diabetes education program (Take Charge Now, Empowering our community to overcome the challenges of Obesity and Diabetes) we have access to a program that received funding through Missouri Foundation for Health to assist more African Americans to control their health. The RN and Nutritionist comes into the home of those living in St. Louis City only, age 55 and older, ducates and provide necessary tools, and report information to the client's Doctor. This is a structured program as the staff must report outcomes. For those interested, please contact the BIAS Office directly at 314 692-9010. You may say that you were referred by Linda Mackey. To help us keep our records, it is not required, but helpful once you start receiving services in your home. Berean members are encouraged to take advantage. This information can be sent via email or posted in Berean churches. Social Service Ministry |
