Under the “Federal No Surprises Act,” health care providers need to give uninsured and self-pay patients a Good Faith Estimate for medical services and items they will receive.

• When scheduling an appointment 3 or more days in advance, you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of services and items. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
• Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your appointment. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an appointment.
• If you receive a bill that is more than $400 over your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
• Make sure to keep a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.

For questions or information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call (775) 329-6300.

DANVILLE, Va. (WSET) — Hundreds of turkeys were given away to those in need on Friday afternoon.

Feeding Southwest Virginia joined with several Danville area partners for the giveaway.

The event was hosted at Dan River Church, where lines stretched across the parking lot.

Each family received a whole turkey along with all the classic trimmings.

This was the second year for this giveaway.

After feeding 80 families last year, organizers realized how great the need was in their community.

"The messages were so powerful. 'We don't have income, we lost our job, COVID has impacted our family and we just want a home-cooked meal.' So to be able to provide that and get hundreds of that information has been so powerful," said Shani Gaylord-Hunter, Director of Community Programs for PATHS.

400 turkeys were given away at Friday's event.

Folks with Danville Community College and the Danville Police Department helped distribute the meals.

In an effort to provide important, timely information about COVID-19 to students, faculty, staff, and community members, Danville Community College (DCC), in partnership with Piedmont Access to Health Services (PATHS), the Virginia Department of Health and SOVAH Health, is hosting a COVID-19 Information Session and Vaccine Clinic on October 7, 2021 in the Student Center on the DCC campus.

“We have a responsibility to educate beyond the classroom,” said Dr. Muriel Mickles, interim president of Danville Community College. “We hope to provide factual, non-biased information to our students, faculty, and staff and address their questions and concerns through an information session led by licensed healthcare professionals.”

The information session will be held from 11 a.m. to noon. Guest speaker Dr. Sheranda Gunn-Nolan, market chief medical officer for SOVAH Health, will offer insight and answer questions regarding COVID-19.

“There is a lot of misinformation circulating throughout our community regarding the COVID-19 vaccine, and we want to address each of these concerns and hesitancies,” Gunn-Nolan said. “The FDA committed to giving the COVID-19 vaccinations priority (not rushed) review at all phases of the studies, and the vaccine has proven to be safe and effective while significantly decreasing the risk of hospitalization or death.”

The information session will be followed by a vaccination clinic in partnership with PATHS, SOVAH and the Virginia Department of Health.

“We’re so grateful for all of our collaborative partnerships,” said Shani Gaylord, director of community programs for PATHS. “Our PATHS team's dedication to meet our community members where they are supports open dialog and provides answers to questions about COVID-19 and vaccinations. We take pride in providing quality healthcare and education and sharing accurate information so all people can make informed decisions. We will also be administering vaccines on-site in an effort to make the healthy choice the easy choice."

Participants in the information session will be entered to win raffle prizes and all individuals who choose to be a vaccinated will receive a complimentary gift card to Sheetz, Kickback Jack’s, Food Lion, or Cookout.

“We hope, by providing these resources to our campus and community, we can create a safer environment to provide the quality higher education that we are known for,” Mickles said.

Those who are interested in attending the information session should register at danville.edu. Individuals who would like to register to receive the COVID-19 vaccine should call 434-791-4122, ext. 1004.

The W&W Luxury Limousine Service will be offering complimentary rides to DCC for the vaccination clinic for those who need transportation. Their contact information is 434-835-4949.

Piedmont Access to Health Services, Inc. (PATHS) has provided over 6,000 COVID-19 vaccinations, and PATHS is now receiving Johnson & Johnson vaccines at their medical sites.

To get scheduled for a vaccine, complete this form https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/88GBYTD or call the PATHS location closest to you: South Boston 434-575-1336; Boydton 434-738-6420; Danville 434-791-4122; Martinsville 276-632-2966; or Chatham 434-432-4443. There are no out-of-pocket costs.

PATHS CEO Marsha Mendenhall shared that, “PATHS is attempting to take COVID-19 vaccinations directly to community members.”

With a goal to eliminate the transportation barrier and provide easy access, PATHS has provided vaccinations on-site at businesses including The Salvation Army of Danville and Schewels Home in South Boston to their employees, as well as, citizens.

The Salvation Army of Danville’s Captain Shalanda Jackson said, “I believe the community is our mission. The mission is to meet needs without discrimination. During this season the need is to beat COVID. This virus has claimed the lives of too many and it must stop. One way is wearing a mask, which we provided to clients in the beginning of this pandemic. Now after a year of wearing a mask the new weapon is vaccination! We are excited to have had the opportunity to host PATHS as they provided vaccinations for our clients, staff, volunteers and surrounding community. The event was a success and we hope to do more with paths in the future.”

As more vaccines are distributed to each PATHS location, appointments will be scheduled during office hours, as well as, at future community and mobile unit clinics.

Shani Gaylord, PATHS Director of Community Programs shared her appreciation that, “In addition to providing vaccines, we’re grateful for community partners including The University of Lynchburg PA Medicine program students for volunteering to administer vaccines, Feeding Southwest Virginia who donated food boxes, as well as, the Danville Police Department, The Haven of the Dan River Region and the Danville Department of Community Development who have had resource tables to share opportunities and fun goody bags.”

PATHS is an award winning local, non-profit, with federally qualified health centers that serve all members of the community offering quality medical dental, behavioral health, and pharmacy services including free delivery.

In an effort to keep our patients, staff and community healthy, effective today, we will implement the following at all PATHS locations:

• All non-emergent dental appointments will be rescheduled. We understand that dental appointments are scheduled months in advance; however due to the nature of dental work, dental staff are at great risk for exposure. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience.
   
• Patients will not be allowed to bring more than one adult guest with them to their appointment. We will not make any exceptions.
   
• We will be reaching out to all patients that have been identified as being at high risk, and ask that they consider rescheduling any non-emergent appointments. In doing so, we will ensure that they have a sufficient supply of their medications until their next scheduled appointment.
   
• We will be screening all patients that call, as well as those that enter any of our facilities to ensure that they receive the appropriate recommendation/treatment.
   
• Please be patient as we work diligently to ensure the safety and well being of our staff, patients and community.
