Fidelis Care proporciona $315,000 para combatir la inseguridad alimentaria en el estado de Nueva York

Fidelis Care, un plan de salud estatal con más de tres millones de miembros en el estado de Nueva York y una subsidiaria de propiedad total de Centene Corporation, anunció la distribución de $315,000 en subvenciones a veinte organizaciones dedicadas a combatir la inseguridad alimentaria y aliviar el hambre en todo el estado. La inseguridad alimentaria afecta a aproximadamente uno de cada diez hogares en Nueva York.

“Fidelis Care está comprometido a promover la salud y el bienestar en nuestras comunidades locales. Eso comienza garantizando el acceso a alimentos nutritivos para personas y familias”, dijo el Dr. Vincent Marchello, director médico de Fidelis Care. "Estamos orgullosos de apoyar a estas organizaciones y su trabajo vital dentro de las comunidades a las que servimos porque nadie debería sufrir hambre".

Las organizaciones sin fines de lucro que brindan asistencia alimentaria en todo el estado han recibido subvenciones para fortalecer iniciativas, incluido el aumento de la distribución de alimentos, la ampliación de los servicios de despensa de alimentos y la reducción de la inseguridad alimentaria dentro de las comunidades.

Los beneficiarios de las subvenciones incluyen:

La Misión Bowery, Condado de Nueva York
La Caja de Bendiciones, Condado de Monroe
Brady Market y Faith Center, condado de Onondaga
Cuidando a los hambrientos y sin hogar de Peekskill, condado de Westchester
Ciudad Harvest, condado de Nueva York
Extensión Cooperativa de Cornell, Condado de Wayne
Dream Center NYC, condado de Nueva York
Los ángeles de Erin del centro de Nueva York, condado de Oswego
Asociación de Servicios Familiares de Glens Falls Inc., Condado de Warren
Alimentando a Westchester, condado de Westchester
Feedmore WNY, condado de Erie
Banco de Alimentos de Nueva York, Condado de Nueva York
Rincón del paciente de Hometown Health, condado de Schenectady
Island Harvest, condado de Nassau
Despensa común de Nueva York, condado de Nueva York
Centro médico Niagara Falls Memorial, condado de Niagara
Pat's Outreach Ministry Inc., condado del Bronx
Alianza de Roma/Escuelas comunitarias conectadas, condado de Oneida
Despensa de alimentos de Sloatsburg, condado de Rockland
UA3 Inc., condado de Nueva York

Extensión Cooperativa de Cornell Condado de Wayne, una organización sin fines de lucro dedicada a mejorar las vidas de individuos y comunidades a través de asociaciones colaborativas, planes utilizar los fondos de la subvención para avanzar en su programa SNAP-Ed NY de prescripción de frutas y verduras (FVRx), que aumenta los beneficios SNAP existentes para aumentar el poder adquisitivo de un individuo al asociarse con tiendas de comestibles y mercados de agricultores locales.

“La Extensión Cooperativa de Cornell del Condado de Wayne agradece el apoyo de Fidelis Care al programa de recetas de frutas y verduras (FVRx) de SNAP-Ed NY”, dijo Maggie McHugh, gerente regional de SNAP-Ed NY. “FVRx desempeña un papel fundamental en la prevención de enfermedades crónicas y en el tratamiento de la inseguridad alimentaria mediante la promoción de una alimentación saludable. Hemos distribuido miles de dólares en vales FVRx a los residentes de Finger Lakes, permitiéndoles acceder a frutas y verduras locales frescas. Como resultado, muchos participantes del programa aumentaron su consumo de alimentos saludables y reportaron una mayor seguridad alimentaria. Con la financiación de Fidelis Care, ampliaremos aún más el impacto del programa asignando recursos adicionales a los vales FVRx”.

Cosecha de la Ciudad es la primera y más grande organización de rescate de alimentos de la ciudad de Nueva York y apoya a cientos de despensas de alimentos, comedores comunitarios y socios comunitarios.

“Estamos encantados de recibir esta generosa subvención de Fidelis Care, que permitirá a City Harvest alimentar a más de 19 000 familias necesitadas de Nueva York”, dijo Erika Martínez, directora adjunta de asociaciones comerciales de City Harvest. “Actualmente, el 50 por ciento de los hogares en edad de trabajar en la ciudad de Nueva York luchan por cubrir el costo de vida mínimo, especialmente a medida que aumentan los costos de los alimentos, aumentan los gastos de vivienda y luego de la expiración de los apoyos gubernamentales vitales que mantuvieron a flote a muchas familias durante la pandemia. Gracias al apoyo de Fidelis Care, trabajaremos juntos para alimentar a nuestros vecinos necesitados: un día, una comida, un neoyorquino a la vez”.

Además de los 20 beneficiarios de subvenciones para la inseguridad alimentaria, Fidelis Care distribuyó microsubvenciones a 50 organizaciones en todo el estado para ayudar a proporcionar comidas saludables a los residentes necesitados durante la temporada navideña de 2023.

El programa de evaluación brinda apoyo a las familias afectadas por factores sociales determinantes de la salud

SDoH%20chart_Spanish%20US.jpg

El novedoso programa de evaluación de SDoH de Fidelis Care se lanzó hace dos años como una iniciativa de equidad en la salud comunitaria para abordar las condiciones en el entorno donde las personas nacen, viven, trabajan y juegan que afecta a su salud, bienestar y calidad de vida. Los SDoH pueden determinar una gran variedad de riesgos y consecuencias sobre la salud, particularmente entre las poblaciones vulnerables y en zonas de pocos recursos.

El programa de evaluación permite que los representantes de Fidelis Care capacitados puedan valorar las necesidades inmediatas de las personas y los desafíos relacionados con los SDoH por medio de unas cuantas preguntas que abarcan aspectos como el acceso al transporte, la alimentación y la vivienda segura y protegida. Hasta la fecha, han participado más de 450,000 miembros de Fidelis Care.
