22 November 2006

AY ST. LOUIS, Missouri -- (PRESS RELEASE) -- The Hollywood Casino Bay St. Louis Cast Member Medical Clinic opened this week for all Hollywood Casino employees and their Hollywood BSL medically insured dependents for urgent care, occupational health care and primary care services. The Clinic is staffed with a nurse practitioner, medical assistant and medical receptionist. Dr. Rowe S. Crowder, III, returns as the clinic physician after Katrina completely destroyed the clinic more than a year ago.

The clinic is staffed Monday through Friday from 7:30 A.M. to 6:00 P.M., and the first Saturday of every month from 8:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. The clinic provides annual health screenings, health counseling, primary care, school and sports physicals, various testing and vaccinations, Diabetes management, CPR training, Weight Watcher's at Work, and more.

"We're excited to bring this incredible benefit back to our cast members," said Leslie Patrick, senior director of human resources. "We're issuing flu shots to our cast members right now. The clinic is as much about preventative healthcare and education as it is clinical,' said Patrick.

The Hollywood Casino and Hotel offer 291 guest rooms, 900 new slot machines, 20 unique table games, and a new 6-table poker room.
