Women’s Health

Staying healthy and well is one of the most important things women can do for themselves and for their loved ones, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Here are some ways women can put their health first:

 

Stay Active

Regular exercise can help women boost their mood, maintain a healthy weight, and improve sleep. It also lowers risk for heart disease, breast cancer, stroke, and type 2 diabetes. Women should speak with their doctor about what type of exercise is right for them.

Eat Healthy
Eating healthy can help women improve their health and prevent diseases. Eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, as well as lean meats, poultry, fish, beans, eggs, and nuts. Avoid having too much sodium, sugar, cholesterol, saturated fats, and trans fats.
Get Regular Checkups
Regular checkups and wellness exams help women increase their chances of living a longer, healthier life. Women should check with their primary care provider about the care and screenings they need, and whether they should schedule an in-person or telehealth appointment.

Maintain Healthy Levels
A well-rounded diet and regular exercise can help keep women’s blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar at healthy levels. Women should talk to their primary care provider or heart specialist about safely reducing their risk and setting goals for a healthier heart.
Avoid Smoking
Smoking or using tobacco products greatly increases women’s risk of heart disease. Women who want to quit should speak to their primary care provider for help and to see if there are medications or nicotine replacement products that are right for them. Non-smokers who have high blood pressure or high blood cholesterol also have a greater risk of developing heart disease when they’re exposed to secondhand smoke.

Health Plan Reaches Families Most in Need, Working with Over 900 Statewide Partners

December 7, 2021 (Long Island City, New York) – Fidelis Care is once again providing vouchers for free groceries to help individuals and families across New York State have a hearty, healthy holiday meal. Nearly 14,000 vouchers, worth about $200,000, are being distributed to more than 900 agencies, schools, and organizations that partner with Fidelis Care statewide. In turn, the coupons are being given to local residents with limited resources who are most in need.  

"Now more than ever, the holiday season provides Fidelis Care with an opportunity to give back to the communities we serve," said Pam Hassen, Chief Member Engagement Officer. “Providing groceries for a special meal is a small but important way we can brighten the holidays for our most vulnerable friends and neighbors. Our partnerships with like-minded organizations enable Fidelis Care to bring this special commitment to life each year.”

Since 2009, Fidelis Care has provided more than 150,000 vouchers for food support, in partnership with more than 10,000 local organizations, benefiting residents statewide.

“The Niagara Falls City School District is so appreciative and fortunate to have a partner like Fidelis Care,” said Mark Laurrie, Superintendent, Niagara Falls City School District. “Fidelis Care is always there to support the needs of our families and students.”

“Thank you to Fidelis Care for their generous donation to Lincoln Hospital,” added Cheryl Simmons-Oliver, Executive Director of Lincoln Hospital in the Bronx. “We are grateful for having Fidelis Care as a community partner that truly cares and is invested in giving back to the communities they serve.”

The holiday food voucher program is just one of the ways Fidelis Care is committed to supporting the health and wellness of local individuals and families throughout the year.
