Select Health of South Carolina’s First Choice health plan will host its first Jump-Start Back-to-School event of the summer to help Columbia-area families with school-aged children make sure they are healthy and prepared for the new school year.

The afternoon will feature back-to-school information, children’s activities, and school supplies provided at no cost (while quantities last). More than 20 agencies and community partners will be there assisting kids with getting the school supplies they need. Select Health’s bilingual staff will assist Spanish-speaking families.

Participants are asked to register in advance by calling 1-888-676-9588.
