We are thrilled to announce that Health Care Access is celebrating 25 years of service to the Phoenixville Area Community! Over the past quarter-century, we have grown tremendously in our mission to provide essential dental, vision, prescription, and mammogram assistance to uninsured and underinsured individuals. This milestone would not have been possible without the unwavering support of our community, and we are incredibly grateful.

To celebrate this achievement and express our gratitude, we invite you to join us for our 25th Anniversary Community Celebration—a day dedicated to family, community, and health. The event will take place at Reeves Park on May 4th from 1-5pm and will feature live music, food trucks, informational tables and demonstrations, family-friendly activities, and free ice cream courtesy of our Health Care Access Board of Directors for all attendees.

This special celebration offers a unique opportunity for local businesses and organizations to demonstrate their commitment to the Greater Phoenixville Area by becoming an event sponsor. Your sponsorship will help us continue to provide much-needed health care services to those in need while also allowing us to host a vibrant and engaging event for families to enjoy.

Purpose and Support:

The majority of the clients we serve have no insurance, or inadequate coverage for dental or vision services; insurances do not automatically cover vision, dental or prescription medications. Health Care Access is vital in filling the gaps in coverage and to assist those that remain uninsured. Our Dental, Vision, Prescription and Mammogram programs allow our clients to continue working to support their families, aid in avoiding unnecessary emergency room visits, and provide them with equitable access to specialized health care to achieve overall good health. HCA is deeply committed to the vulnerable individuals in our community who cannot afford these health services and ultimately, may go without.

More about Health Care Access:

Health Care Access (HCA) provides access to dental, vision, prescription medications and mammogram services via a network of local providers that have agreed to discounted fees for service. We also partner with two local pharmacies that offer discounted prices on prescription medications, and the Phoenixville Hospital mammogram suite. The provider model that we utilize has been efficient and effective in helping the greater Phoenixville area and the surrounding townships. Health Care Access utilizes funds to continue to provide access to affordable, high quality, culturally and linguistically appropriate care for all eligible members of our community. Clients do contribute toward the cost of their care in the form of copays paid directly to the provider at their care visits. HCA has learned that asking clients to contribute toward the cost has proven to be a positive measure and allows them to become invested in their care. With HCA, clients are able to afford the care they need and deserve!

The Dental Program provides preventative, restorative and emergency care to qualifying children and adults. Required treatment is always covered for children (except for braces), while the scope of care for adults is limited to cleanings, exams, x-rays, fillings, extractions, and help with the cost of dentures or partials.

The Vision Program provides comprehensive eye exams and glasses or contacts if needed for the clients we serve. Those that require a consult with an eye specialist will be seen and treated, if possible, within the limits of the budget.

The Prescription Program assists individuals without prescription insurance. Those in need of long-term medications, who qualify, are assisted in completing applications to the pharmaceutical Patient Assistance Programs (PAP’s) that provide no-cost brand name medications for up to a year. Those in need of emergency assistance with prescriptions may receive a one-month supply at one of the two local pharmacies that HCA has a partnership. HCA does work closely with the local hospital to ensure that uninsured patients being discharged on life-sustaining medications receive an emergency supply to help avoid readmission. Assistance with copays is also available on an emergency basis.

The Mammogram Program assists uninsured women and men with a physician's prescription in obtaining a free mammogram screening, with funding available for further diagnostics.
