Many people in our community don’t realize that affordable healthcare may already be available to them.

As a Federally Qualified Health Center, River Valley Primary Care Services offers a Sliding Fee Discount Program to help make healthcare more affordable for individuals and families in our community. 🏥

🤝 What Is the Sliding Fee Discount Program?

The Sliding Fee Discount Program adjusts the cost of certain healthcare services based on household income and family size, using the Federal Poverty Guidelines as a reference. 📊

This means patients who qualify may receive reduced costs for services provided at our clinics. 💲

📋 Who Can Apply?

You may be eligible if you:
✔️ Meet income guidelines based on the Federal Poverty Level
✔️ Complete a Sliding Fee application
✔️ Provide documentation that helps verify household income and family size 📄

Patients do not need to be uninsured to apply. The program is available to eligible patients regardless of insurance status. 🩺

🩺 Why Programs Like This Exist

As a community health center, our mission is to help ensure that people in our region have access to essential healthcare services. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Federally Qualified Health Centers provide care to all patients regardless of their ability to pay, and the Sliding Fee Discount Program is one way we help reduce financial barriers to care. 🤲

📞 Interested in Applying?

Our team can help you learn more about the program and guide you through the application process.

📍 Contact us or ask our front desk about the Sliding Fee Discount Program during your next visit.

Affordable care is part of our commitment to the health of our community. 🏥

March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, and this year the message is more important than ever.

For decades, many people believed Colorectal Cancer was mainly a disease affecting older adults. But that’s changing. Today, colorectal cancer has become the leading cause of cancer death in people under 50 in the United States, and rates among younger adults have been rising for years.

What makes this especially concerning is that many people don’t notice symptoms early on. By the time signs appear, the disease may already be advanced.

🚨 Warning signs to pay attention to can include:
• Blood in the stool
• Ongoing stomach pain or discomfort
• Changes in bowel habits
• Unexplained weight loss or fatigue

The good news? Screening can help prevent colon cancer or catch it early, when it’s most treatable.

👤 Who should get screened?
Adults age 45 and older should talk with their provider about colorectal cancer screening options.

📍 Our providers can help you choose the screening option that’s right for you. A simple conversation could make a life-saving difference.

✔️ If you’re 45 or older, ask your provider about colorectal cancer screening at your next visit.

Early detection saves lives.
Prevention starts with screening. 🩺

Healthcare That Knows Your Name

Care should be personal, simple, and affordable, the kind where your provider remembers you, listens to your concerns, and spends the time needed to get to the heart of what you need.

✔ easier to access
✔ easier to afford
✔ easier to talk to

We’re here for you.

💰 Sliding Fee Discount Program, see a provider for as little as $20 based on household size and income

🧠 Anxiety, stress, or sleep trouble 😴

❤️ High blood pressure or cholesterol

📋 Referrals when you actually need a specialist

💲 Worried about cost? We’ve got options.

➡️ Shorter waits
➡️ Lower costs

ER or Primary Care? Knowing where to go can save you time and money. ⏱️💰

For most everyday health concerns, your primary care provider is the better first stop. P*P visits are usually quicker, far less expensive than an ER visit, and focused on you, not just the problem of the moment.

At your P*P visit, we can:
• Take time to review your full health history
• Manage ongoing conditions instead of just treating symptoms
• Coordinate labs, medications, and follow-up care
• Help prevent small issues from turning into emergencies

🚑 Emergency rooms are essential for life-threatening situations, but for routine care, your P*P is designed to give you personalized, thoughtful care without the long wait or high bill.

When it’s not an emergency, start with primary care. Your health (and your wallet) will thank you. 👨‍⚕️👩‍⚕️
