BJC HealthCare provides more charity

BJC HealthCare provides learning opportunities for children, adults and seniors about health topics in a variety of settings, including schools, churches, community centers and special events. Programs include health education classes, screenings for certain diseases, and weight management and smoking cessation seminars.
BJC HealthCare developed myHealthFolders, a secure, confidential web-based tool for managing personal health information that puts “your health in your hands.” First offered as a free lifetime benefit for BJC employees, myHealthFolders is now offered to other employers committed to providing it as a free health benefit to their employees. The program allows people to take responsibility for managing health information for themselves and their loved ones, and provides medical personnel immediate online access to important health care information and emergency contacts. To try the site, take an online tour.
