Benefit Fund News

 

   

March 28, 2013

To All Health Fund Participants,

It's with great pleasure and excitement that I announce effective April 1, 2013 the PBC FF’s Employee Benefits Fund Health & Wellness Center will be officially open to provide a variety of services for all participants of the Fund.

For many years now, the Board of Trustees and I have envisioned providing you with a medical facility that could handle the annual firefighter physicals as well as providing you and your families the type of medical care that couldn’t be found anywhere else.  Last February that vision started to come to fruition when we purchased the building at the end of 7th Pl N, just off the turnpike.  In January of this year, after nearly a year of hard work, planning and remodeling, we opened a first class state of the art medical facility and began providing the annual firefighter physicals.

Now, just over a year from the purchase, we are officially opening to provide you and your family a vast array of services.  The facility is equipped to handle all of your primary and urgent care needs as listed in the enclosed brochure.

The staff of the Health & Wellness Center is dedicated to only one thing, making sure that you receive the best medical care and treatment possible.  The staff is not only the best possible medical practitioners that we could lure away from the top medical facilities in the area, but also understand the bottom line is participant satisfaction.  They will give you whatever time and care is necessary to address your particular situation.  At the end of each visit a survey will be provided so you can tell us what we are doing right, as many of you already have or where we can improve our care and services.

The facility is conveniently located right off the turnpike at Southern Blvd, wait times are minimal, care is exceptional, you’ll receive medications on the spot if necessary, and the price is right (free).  Numerous individuals that live outside our planned demographic service area, which is Jupiter to the north and Delray Beach to the south have indicated it was well worth the few extra minutes on the road to get here. The time saved not having a long wait to be seen, no co-pays and prescriptions given to you before leaving is well worth the extra few minutes of travel time. Remember, this is something you can claim ownership in……. this is your facility; it is only open to you and your families!

We hope to see you soon!  Walk-ins are welcome, but we encourage you to make an appointment, or at least give us a call to let us know you’re on your way.

Fraternally,

Mike Sedgwick

Benefits Adminstrator

EXPECTING? 

If you are currently expecting a new baby in your life don’t forget about the Benefits Fund Cord Blood harvesting and cryogenic storage program.  For only $100 out of your pocket you can protect your newborn from numerous health issue’s.  The Fund will pick up the balance of the cost for harvesting the stem cells and storing them for 18 years…….. It’s well worth the small investment on your part.

Call the Fund office to get a brochure and contact information for the Stem Cell Cryobank  located at the Bethesda Health City on Hagen Ranch Road in Boynton Beach.

We will also cover your future storage fees if you had your child's cord blood stored with another vendor prior to the Fund implementing the program in January 2011, call the Fund office for more details.
