Community Programs

Whether attending local health fairs, promoting health education, teaming up with local events, or creating community-based programs, it is part of PrimaryPlus’ mission to be community-minded.  Below are just a few of the programs available; the list of innovative programs and activities continues to grow as we grow...

Leap / Kidz Care Fair / Scholarships / Cooper Clayton Smoking Program

LEAP™

PrimaryPlus wants our communities to lead healthy lifestyles.  The creation of the LEAP program was first designed for employees of PrimaryPlus encouraging them to lead more active, healthier lives.  Since then LEAP has been trademarked, marketed and taken out into the public eye for industries like Green Tokai, Comprehend, Augusta & Lewis County School Systems.  LEAP gives you an overall scope of your health, teaches you the importance of knowing your numbers, and helps to teach you simple lifestyle changes that will help improve your health through goal setting.  In 2005, LEAP was named to the Kentucky Educational Television “Models that Work” program.  LEAP is a flexible community program that can be designed to fit any businesses needs.

Kidz Care Fair


Back to School can be an overwhelming experience for both parents and their children.  This event was designed by PrimaryPlus to bring a fun twist to the normal, sometimes dreaded back to school physical and shots.  The Kidz Care Fair provides parents an opportunity to avoid the hectic rush of back to school physicals and/or immunizations while providing the children with a worry-free, fun-filled, carnival-like experience.

Scholarships


PrimaryPlus began providing scholarship dollars in 2004 to help encourage students who are interested in the health occupations field.  The scholarship program has expanded with each new site, now offering the scholarship to high school seniors in Lewis, Fleming, Bracken and Mason County.  Criteria for the scholarship are based on an essay explaining professional goals, grades/ACT/SAT scores, reference letters, involvement, and financial need.  The three scholarships are valued at $500.00 each and are non-renewable.

Cooper Clayton Smoking Cessation Program


The Cooper-Clayton program is a three phase methodology developed by Thomas Cooper, D.D.S. and Richard Clayton, Ph.D., an expert on drug addiction at the Kentucky School of Public Health at the University of Kentucky, the program has proven to be successful for many.   There has been a 45% success rate in heavy smokers who have been active with the Cooper Clayton Method.  For more information about the Cooper-Clayton Smoking-Cessation Program visit their website at http://www.thecooperclaytonmethod.com/.

Health Education/Screening Events

PrimaryPlus makes it a goal to provide a variety of health education seminars and screening opportunities to the communities it serves.  Our events target specific health issues that are most prevalent to our region.  Through these events we are able to provide educational materials, health resources, as well as, guest speakers and screenings—all while having a lot of fun!  Some of our past event topics include Heart Health, Women’s Health, Breast Cancer Awareness, PSA for men, Cholesterol Education, Diabetes Grocery Store Tours and more.  We are also very fortunate and thankful to get to team up with organizations such as the Lewis County Extension Office, King’s Daughters Medical Center and other top-notch organizations to bring our patients opportunities to help take charge of their healthcare.

Community Involvement including Relay for Life

Part of being a community health center, is making sure you are community-minded and active in their well-being.  That is why PrimaryPlus and its energetic employees involve themselves in many community activities whether it be community health fairs, job fairs, food drives or fundraising events.  In 2009, PrimaryPlus employees organized 3 Relay for Life teams (known as the PrimaryPlus Peeps) and helped raise close to $4000 to help win the fight against cancer.  Our employees understand that the best way to reach the Community is to be involved in the Community!
