 Note from the Health Center Board: 

            As we await InterMed’s publication of an informational brochure for their new site at the Peaks Island Health Center, we want to let the Peaks community know that InterMed is as pleased as we are with our new association.  Our Health Center will continue to treat everyone, and will soon be welcoming our summer residents and visitors.  InterMed accepts five national insurance companies:  Aetna, Anthem, Cigna, Harvard Pilgrim and Medicare.  These claims can be submitted directly to the carrier by the Health Center staff.  For those patients with other insurance coverage, payment will be asked at the time of service, and patients will need to submit their claims to their own carriers.

            To use or to continue to use the Peaks Island Health Center for primary care, patients must choose a primary care physician, even though they plan to be seen by Nancy Wright or Lois Tiedeken on the Island.  A list of InterMed physicians from which to choose is available at the Health Center, or a patient may prefer to choose a non-InterMed physician.  Please call the office on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Friday for more details.

            Many thanks from the Board, Health Center staff and patients to Jim Lausier for the flowers in the barrel just outside the Health Center door.

CLAMSHELL RACE

            The 15^th Peaks Island July Fourth Clamshell Relay Race will be held at NOON on Friday, July 4^th, starting at Greenwood Garden.  This quirky race has been run barefoot and in clogs.  It has been run quite quickly and walked so slowly, time stood still.  Contestants have carried clamshells, stuffed animals, and even a small hibachi.  Entire families have run this race.  Some runners have worn amazing hats.  A select few, John Whitman, for instance, have run in each and every one of the 14 previous clamshell runs.

            Why not pick up a partner and join us on July 4^th for a wacky rerunning of this storied race?  Buy a Clamshell t-shirt, purchase a raffle ticket, and join in the fun.  This fund-raiser supports our local Peaks Island Health Center.  For more information, call Chuck or Sandi Radis at 766-5915.
