Cover the Uninsured Week '06
The fourth annual Cover the Uninsured Week is here!
Sponsored by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, Cover the Uninsured Week is part of a non-partisan, nationwide effort to put health coverage in America on the front burner. Thousands of activities for Cover the Uninsured Week will take place all across the country through May 7, including health enrollment fairs.
Health enrollment fairs will host a variety of screenings, such as those for diabetes and breast cancer, as well as educational sessions on HIV/AIDS, nutrition and fitness and home health care (just to name a select few).
To see what's happening near you, go to CoverTheUninsured.org and check out the 2006 event calendar.
