Fidelis Care Presents Brady Market with $5,000 Food Insecurity Grant

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.

“Nutrition is healthcare,” said Fidelis Care Sales and Marketing Director Shannon Lombardo.  “Fidelis Care is committed to promoting health and well-being in Syracuse and communities across New York State. That begins by partnering with organizations like Brady Market to help families and individuals gain access to healthy, nutritious foods.”

Brady Market in Syracuse, operated by not-for-profit Brady Social Enterprises, Inc., is a grocery store with retail and wholesale operations, deli and catering, job training, and wraparound support services. It was inspired by the 70-plus year history of Brady Faith Center’s engagement with generations of individuals and families in some of the community’s most impoverished neighborhoods.

“Brady Market is very grateful for this Fidelis Care grant,” said Brady Faith Center Director Kevin Frank. “We absolutely can’t do what we do without wonderful partners. For many who live in the community, Brady Market is the only place to get fresh fruits and vegetables. We plan to use the Fidelis Care funding to take the lead in collaborating with 20 neighborhood organizations to deliver meals for 220 families. One of the wonderful things about this program is that our partner organizations know who needs food support the most. It’s just one of the ways that we are more than a market in this community.”

Lombardo added, “We know that one meal is not going to solve a family’s food insecurity, but these grants give us an opportunity to connect people with agencies and organizations like Brady Market to help them find the resources they need for long-term solutions.”

Fidelis Care takes pride in supporting the vital work of Brady Market and the other food insecurity grant recipients across New York State because no one should suffer from hunger. Click here to see the full list of Fidelis Care food insecurity grant recipient organizations.

Screener Program Provides Support to Families Impacted by Social Determinants of Health

SDoH-chart

Fidelis Care’s innovative SDoH screener program was launched two years ago as a grassroots health equity initiative to address conditions in the environments where people are born, live, work, and play that affect their health, well-being, and quality of life. Social Determinants of Health can affect a wide range of health risks and outcomes – particularly among vulnerable populations and in underserved areas.

The screener enables trained Fidelis Care representatives to assess an individual’s immediate needs and challenges related to SDoH through a brief series of questions covering areas such as access to transportation, food, and secure and safe housing. More than 450,000 Fidelis Care members have participated to date.

Funds to Address Telehealth Access Barriers

January 24, 2022 (Buffalo, New York) – Fidelis Care has awarded Neighborhood Health Center of WNY $8,000 to assist in their efforts to address the digital divide some patients have experienced during the pandemic. The funds will help provide access to technology and services for patients to better communicate with their health care providers.

Telehealth services play an important role in expanding access to healthcare, especially during the pandemic. For those without reliable internet access, connecting with providers for needed care and services can be challenging. The funds from Fidelis Care will provide pre-paid calling cards for Neighborhood Health Center patients who require assistance to connect with their healthcare providers via telehealth. For many, telehealth services allow them to access healthcare when obstacles like transportation, taking time off from work, or finding childcare stand in their way.

"As we continue to navigate the COVID pandemic, ensuring access to care for high-risk patients remains a priority," Fidelis Care Chief Medical Officer Vincent Marchello, MD. “Fidelis Care is extremely grateful to work with Neighborhood Health Center, addressing the digital divide and directly supporting those in our community who need it most.”

“As we work hard to address the need for health equity for patients who are especially vulnerable at this time, we extend many thanks to Fidelis Care for supporting this priority to build that technical bridge between the patient and their provider,” added Joanne Haefner, Chief Executive Officer for Neighborhood Health Center of WNY. “Thanks to the funds from Fidelis Care, we are helping to level the playing field and work toward our mission of health equity and better health outcomes.”
