Partygoers can enjoy a bounce house, face painting, entertainment, raffles and food at the Boca Raton offices, located at 30 SE 6th Street. Additionally, staff will be on hand to offer free vision, hearing and dental screenings for children, and health and dental screenings for adults. Staff will also introduce guests to the comprehensive healthcare and dental services offered at Genesis, which is seeking to be a healthcare home for Boca Raton residents. “We want people to come out and have fun, take tours of our new center, and learn how we can help them stay healthy,” said Genesis CEO DeAnna Warren. “Our services include eligibility for Medicaid, assistance with enrollment for healthcare coverage through the Affordable Care Act Marketplace, primary care and family practice for all ages.” In Boca Raton, approximately 34,700 low-income patients reside within the city limits, but only 930 are currently being seen at an existing healthcare center. To serve its patients, the new center has access to two bus lines, Routes 1 and 91, and Genesis is working with Boca Helping Hands to reach potential patients and coordinate referrals and appointments.
