The casino operator also launched a similar primary healthcare clinic at Sunset Station Hotel and Casino in Henderson.<\/p>\n

\n

Beyond free medical visits, eligible workers and relatives can get medical tests and prescribed generic drugs at the clinics, according to a company statement sent to Casino.org<\/em>. Eventually, the clinics may provide dental and vision care.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Currently, Station Casinos provides free healthcare to eligible employees enrolled in its health maintenance organization (HMO). It covers its workers, spouses, and select family members.<\/strong><\/p>\n

To qualify for the free health service, Station Casinos workers must earn less than $41,600 in annual salary, or $20 per hour.<\/p>\n

Finch said he wants to see similar clinics at other Station Casinos properties. Another clinic is planned for the company\u2019s Texas Station<\/a> property. That casino currently remains closed by the pandemic.<\/p>\n

Culinary Union Avoids Comment on Clinics<\/h2>\n

The 60,000-member Culinary Workers Union, Local 226<\/a>, has been in a continuing battle with Station Casinos over company recognition of the union. One of the union\u2019s selling points to potential members is its comprehensive healthcare program.<\/p>\n

Casino.org<\/em> reached out to a Culinary Union spokesperson to see if the union had commented on the Station Casinos\u2019 healthcare announcement. No comment was provided by the time of publication.<\/p>\n

As of February, some 130,000 Culinary Union workers and their family members got their health insurance through the union\u2019s Culinary Health Fund.<\/p>\n

Clinics Operated by Cost-Conscious Company<\/h2>\n

Station Casinos\u2019 two new clinics will be operated by Activate Healthcare headquartered in Indianapolis, Ind. Under a company reorganization, Activate recently became part of Everside Health, according to a company announcement released earlier this month.<\/p>\n

The new entity operates 350 health clinics in 32 states for companies and unions. The latest reorganization took place just a year after Activate became part of Denver, Colorado-based Paladina Health.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In 2019, the combined company provided preventive and primary healthcare. The company that year stressed it focused on \u201cvalue-based\u201d care and providing \u201cmedical cost savings” to companies or unions which provide healthcare to employees or members, Paladina Health said in a statement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
