О Дне "Дайте детям зрение":

PCCY and our partners have helped connect over 7,700 children obtain free eye care services since 2009! That two thirds of Philadelphia school children who fail a school vision screening do not get a follow-up exam was unacceptable to child advocates. Building on PCCY’s successful Give Kids a Smile Day model of free dental care for kids, PCCY and our partners designed “Give Kids Sight Day” a day of free eye checks and eye glasses for children who need them.

Вы также можете Сделать пожертвование поддерживать или работать на здоровье детей.

Нужна ли вашему ребенку медицинская страховка?  Телефон доверия PCCY Child Health Watch помогает семьям найти медицинскую страховку для своих детей. Мы помогаем подавать заявки на государственное медицинское страхование, будь то Medical Assistance (MA) или Программа медицинского страхования детей (CHIP), а также решать проблемы с зачислением. Эта услуга бесплатна и доступна на любом языке. Персонал горячей линии также помогает семьям найти медицинские услуги, такие как первичная медико-санитарная помощь, стоматологическая помощь, помощь по зрению и психиатрическая помощь, к которым они могут получить доступ со страховкой или без нее.  Call PCCY’s Child Health Watch Helpline at 215-563-5848 x17 or email: healthwatch@childrenfirstpa.org.
