| New Kansas Lions Mobile Screening Unit |
A new Kansas Lions Mobile Screening Unit will be hitting the streets this
fall thanks to a partnership between the Kansas Lions Sight Foundation,
Kansas Lions Club, and a $100,000 donation per year for five years from
the Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas (BCBSKS) Foundation.
This partnership represents the BCBSKS Foundation's single largest gift
since its incorporation in 2005. The funds will be used to purchase the new
Kansas Lions Mobile Screening Unit, screening equipment and travel
expenses.
"We applaud the Lions Club long-time commitment to improving the health
of Kansans by offering screenings to all people who visit their mobile
screening unit," said Andrew C. Corbin, CEO of the BCBSKS Foundation.
"It is part of the Foundation's mission to improve the health of Kansans.
We are proud that through this partnership and the mobile screening unit,
Kansans who might not have a primary care doctor or possibly lack health
insurance will be able to obtain important screenings."
Because of this donation, the Kansas Lions Mobile Screening Unit will
continue to travel throughout the BCBSKS Foundation service area
offering free health screenings to Kansans for the next five years. The
mobile screening unit is equipped to provide screenings for visual acuity,
field of vision, hearing, blood pressure and blood sugar.
"We are pleased to partner with the Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas
Foundation for the new mobile screening unit," says Joyce DeVore,
president of the Kansas Lions Sight Foundation.
