Fidelis Care Career Events

On this National Nurses Week May 6-12, Fidelis Care celebrates the invaluable contributions of nurses everywhere. This week gives us the opportunity to recognize the dedication, compassion, and commitment that nurses bring to our healthcare system. In honor of these contributions, Fidelis Care showcases the outstanding efforts that 10 of our own nurses bring to their profession every day:

In celebration of Asian American and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander Heritage Month, Fidelis Care is honored to recognize the achievements and contributions of this diverse community. This month is a time to reflect upon how our commitment to providing quality services goes beyond just healthcare coverage. It is about enhancing health literacy and delivering culturally sensitive experiences tailored to every individual we serve.

In observance of National Nutrition Month, Fidelis Care presented a $5,000 grant to support Brady Market’s programs to combat food insecurity in the Syracuse region. The grant is part of $315,000 in donations by Fidelis Care to nonprofit organizations on the front lines of fighting hunger across New York State. Food insecurity impacts about one in 10 New York households.

In observance of National Minority Health Month this April, Fidelis Care is raising awareness about the health disparities facing minorities. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), racial and ethnic minority groups throughout the United States experience higher rates of illness and death across a wide range of health conditions, including diabetes, hypertension, obesity, asthma, and heart disease.

As I reflect upon my life’s journey this Women’s History Month, I note several women who have influenced my career path. I am very blessed to have had a supportive mother, two grandmothers, and aunts who all prided themselves in working and caring for their families.

Resiliency defines my life. Throughout the years, I have drawn inspiration from phenomenal women who have modeled this quality for me and countless others.
