We’re Kicking Off the Summer Season with Community Events at Our Blue Door Neighborhood CenterSM
Summer’s officially here! Our Blue Door Neighborhood Center (BDNCSM) locations are hosting programs that promote summer safety. Visitors to our South Lawndale BDNC will learn about protecting their skin, staying hydrated, barbeque safety and more.
This month, we’re excited to work with the National Kidney Foundation of Illinois KidneyMobile®. You may want to encourage your patients to join us on July 14 for a screening event that will include body mass index (BMI), blood glucose readings and blood pressure checks. Free, healthy summer snacks, like seasonal fruits and vegetables will be offered at the event.
We are partnering with the Chicago Department of Public Health (CDPH) to launch a series of free family vaccination clinics. COVID-19 vaccinations for children 6 months and older will be available at all centers.
We’re also having a block party at the BDNC in Pullman on Saturday, July 16, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. We’ve planned a full day of fun activities for the whole family. The block party will feature:
- Music and food
- BCBSIL Care Van®
- Health information
- Low-impact fitness demos and much more
These are just a few of the programs that will be offered at BDNC in July. Your patients can check the calendars at BDNC at Morgan Park, BDNC at Pullman and BDNC at South Lawndale the BDNC Facebook page for details, dates and registration. They can visit any time to check out other events and happenings at all three BDNC locations.
All programming – in person and virtual – at BDNC locations is free and open to everyone. If you or your patients have questions, email the BDNC or call 773-253-0900.
Supporting our members on their health education journeys and increasing access to health care where our members live, work and play is an ongoing priority at Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois (BCBSIL). We’re also committed to strengthening the health of communities across the state.
