Have You Scheduled Your Annual Checkup? |
|
During Men's Health Month, we want to promote a safe, healthy lifestyle for men and boys. This includes getting an annual checkup, eating nutritiously, talking about mental health, and more. Reports show that men make half as many physician visits for prevention as women.
HCC provides primary, dental, and behavioral health and social support services, regardless of ability to pay.

Enroll in Expanded Medicaid |
|
Rural residents work hard to provide for their households whether they are alone, a single parent, or supporting a family. Adults who may not have been previously eligible for health insurance may now receive low-cost or free coverage.
Missouri Medicaid expansion is here thanks to the dedication of rural voters. Insurance provided through MO HealthNet covers annual checkups, prescription medicines, telehealth visits, mental health services, dental care, and more.
