Blue Grass Farms Charities announced this week it will partner with Blue Grass Community Health Center to offer free health clinics and on-site health screenings to staff at farms, training centers, or racetracks in the Central Kentucky area.
Screenings consist of flu and tetanus shots, weight, height and blood pressure readings, and glucose level and HIV testing. Clinic participants may also receive dental varnish.
Clinics will be staffed with doctors and nurse practitioners who can diagnose illnesses and prescribe medications if necessary.
Managers or organizers on the farm or Thoroughbred facility are asked to visit https://www.bgfcky.org/health-clinics-and-screenings.html to sign up for a time. Medical staff will bring the necessary equipment and set up the clinic during the scheduled time block.
Two off-site physical locations will also be made available for farm/training staff who are interested in these services but won't have access to an on-site clinic. One location is at 1306 Versailles Road in Lexington and is staffed Monday to Friday 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Saturday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The other at 151 North Eagle Creek Drive, Suite 22 in Lexington is staffed Monday to Friday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
