(La Porte, IN) - Employees of the City of La Porte and their family members have access to health care services without costing them a penny.

It’s through a new partnership with Franciscan’s HEALTHeACCESS program.

HEALTHeACCESS provides a wide network of conveniently located clinics and expanded primary/urgent care services for participating employers.   Other no out of pocket cost offerings for city employees include enhanced wellness and disease management programs.

“The care and wellbeing of our employees is a top priority for our team,” said Mayor Tom Dermody.

“In the ever-changing world of healthcare, it is important to identify dependable partners. I believe we’ve found that in Franciscan,” he said.

Franciscan has 17 clinics and over 200 employees participating in the program.  A new Franciscan HEALTHeACCESS office opened in July of last year in La Porte at 400 Legacy Plaza West.

The office is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.  More information is available by calling (219) 575-6055.
