Fidelis Care Career Events

Fidelis Care and health care provider Summerwood Pediatrics recently partnered to inform and educate the public about a major change in the health insurance renewal process.

Those individuals now need to act to keep their health insurance.

As a health insurance company committed to providing access to quality, affordable healthcare, Fidelis Care is proud to celebrate National Health Center Week from August 6 to 12. This annual event honors the vital role that Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) play in improving the health and well-being of underserved communities. During this week, we express our gratitude to the doctors and staff who work tirelessly to bridge the healthcare gap and ensure no one is left behind.
