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.

Fidelis Care and Cornerstone Family Healthcare Partner on Insurance Renewal Education Event
10/20/2023 • Posted by Fidelis Care in In The Community, Renewal

Fidelis Care and health care provider Cornerstone Family Healthcare recently partnered for an event aimed at educating the public about a major change in the health insurance renewal process.  

At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the federal government provided New York State with additional funding to keep individuals covered under Medicaid, Child Health Plus, Essential Plan, and Managed Long Term Care. With the federal public health emergency now ended, those individuals must take action to keep their health insurance.

About nine million New Yorkers, including nearly 51,000 Cornerstone Family Healthcare patients and two million Fidelis Care members, may be impacted by the change.

To raise awareness and encourage members and patients to act, Fidelis Care and Cornerstone Family Healthcare held a special renewal information event at Cornerstone’s Newburgh location. Christopher White, Fidelis Care Sales and Marketing Director, and Dr. Avi Silber, Cornerstone Family Healthcare Chief Medical Officer, spoke about the importance of people maintaining their health coverage.

White said, “It is important to note that if people on impacted health plans do not take action to renew, they risk losing coverage. Fidelis Care is here to assist anyone who needs help through every step of the process. Visit one of our community offices or a Fidelis Care StreetSide RV location, give us a call, or go to fideliscare.org for more information on renewals. Our experienced Health Benefit Representatives can work with you to find quality, affordable health insurance.”

Silber said, “Maintaining health insurance is critical for continuity of care and having access at the right place at the right time. We want people to maintain their relationships with their primary care doctors so we can prevent bad outcomes and emergency room visits. Preventive medicine and active healthcare are very important. We don’t want our patients with diabetes, hypertension, or other chronic conditions having a gap in their health insurance coverage or their medications.”

Those interested in learning more about health insurance renewals can visit the Fidelis Care website at fideliscare.org/renew or call 1-866-435-9521 (TTY: 711) Monday-Friday 8:30 AM to 6 PM.
