Help Line has new service Essential health care services will be made more accessible to eligible NS families in Luzerne and Wyomin Counties thanks to an unique ‘Health Services Referral Net- work” announced recently. The announcement was made at a news conference held at the Family Service Association of Wyoming Valley. Help Line, administered by Family Service, will develop and manage the Network, with funding provided by the Rural Health Corpo- ration of N.E. Pennsylvania. The region qualifies for such assistance because of the relatively high unem- ployment rates of both counties. April unemployment figures were 14.9 percent for Wyoming County and 14.1 percent for Luzerne County. : In a joint statement, Family Serv- ice and the Rural Health Corpora- tion pointed out that the purpose of the Network is to be of special aid to those families who have been affected by job cutbacks and who are not able to afford health care services. The overall objective, the statement added, is to identify laid- off workers, organize health care providers, and promote appropriate use of primary health care. The Health Services Referral Net- work will reach unemployed per- sons who are not being assisted by the traditional social service pro- grams; who are ineligible for public third party health care coverage; where no family members are to pay for health care service. Partners in implementing the Net- work will be Help Line, a panel of volunteer physicians, and commu- nity hospitals. Individuals and families who feel that they may be eligible for the new program may get complete information by calling Help Line at 829-1341. Residents of Hazleton and Wyoming Counties may call toll free 1-800-432-8007. > ; : faa ™~.
