(La Porte County, IN) - LaPorte County officials have approved a partnership with Franciscan’s HEALTHeACCESS to give county government employees and their families access to a variety of healthcare services with no out-of-pocket costs.

 

“I’m pleased that we have the ability to offer such a wonderful benefit to our employees and their dependents to help address their healthcare needs,” said LaPorte County Human Resources Director Monique Thomas.

 

HEALTHeACCESS is a regional leader in advanced primary care models with 17 clinics and more than 200 participating employers, like LaPorte County government.

 

It’s a near-site clinic program that provides a wide network of conveniently located clinics, expanded primary/urgent care access for participating employers, enhances wellness and disease management programs and provides affordable network designs with fixed monthly fees and wellness portal programs.

 

“Our goal is to deliver exceptional access, continuity and support, whether that’s right here in La Porte or at any of our HEALTHeACCESS locations across the state,” said Tim Ross, Director of Employer Solutions for Franciscan Health.,

 

A new Franciscan HEALTHeACCESS office opened in July 2024 in the City of La Porte at 400 Legacy Plaza West.  The HEALTHeACCESS office is open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.
