The Fidelis Care Blog

Fidelis Care, Wellcare, and partners Cornell Cooperative Extension and the University of Rochester Medical Center’s Wilmot Cancer Institute launched a series of free healthy cooking demonstrations at the Rochester Public Market this spring. The May event focused on the observances of Mental Health Awareness Month, National Women’s Health Week, and Skin Cancer Awareness Month.

Men's Health Month is observed every June. It’s a time to raise awareness about health concerns and diseases faced by men. Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men, but it is often successfully treated when found early.

This Asian American and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander Heritage Month, Fidelis Care honors the diverse cultures, histories, and contributions of this community. In observance of the month, Fidelis Care recently talked with Rendr CEO Dr. Richard Park about cultural pride, health literacy, and how he makes a difference.

In observance of Mental Health Awareness Month, Fidelis Care salutes our team of behavioral health professionals who work tirelessly to help our members receive the care and services they need. This week, we highlight some of these counselors, social workers, and administrators who have dedicated their careers to assisting others
