Central Carolina Hospital’s “Path to Health” Campaign Encourages Uninsured People to Enroll

SANFORD, N.C. - March 27, 2014 - PRLog -- Sanford, NC (March 27, 2014) - With only a few days left for uninsured individuals to enroll in the new federal healthcare marketplace, the latest Kaiser Health tracking poll finds that 6 in 10 Americans without health insurance coverage are unaware that March 31 is the last day to sign up under the exchanges.

If you are without insurance coverage please call 1-866-893-8446 and speak with a Path to Health (http://www.pathtohealth.com/) counselor or go to www.pathtohealth.comfor information and enrollment assistance.

Central Carolina Hospital is continuing its efforts to educate uninsured individuals in our area before the deadline as part of the national Path to Health (http://www.pathtohealth.com/) campaign, a community education and outreach initiative to raise awareness and understanding of the Affordable Care Act (ACA).

We have trained enrollment counselors who are available to answer questions and assist with the enrollment process.
