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.

NEWS RELEASE: New York City FC and Fidelis Care Kick Off 2019 Youth Soccer Festivals
8/26/2019 • Posted by Fidelis Care in Corporate News

NEW YORK, NY (August 26, 2019) – New York City FC (NYCFC) and Fidelis Care have kicked off the 2019 Youth Soccer Festival Series as part of their partnership renewal. The festivals are led by City in the Community (CITC) and South Bronx United (SBU) young leaders who are using the power of soccer to promote healthy lifestyles, connect communities and promote gender equality.

Now in the third year of the partnership, NYCFC and Fidelis Care have the shared goal of increasing access to free soccer across the five boroughs. These soccer festivals not only provide opportunities for young New Yorkers to compete in free and friendly soccer matches, they also bring communities together in a healthy and fun way. At each festival, Fidelis Care will provide medals for the winning teams, as well as sponsor the NYCFC street team and onsite player appearances.

The first festival, the “Soccer Bloc 5 Borough Tournament,” took place on Saturday, August 10 at one of the New York City Soccer Initiative mini-soccer pitches at Triborough Bridge Playground in Astoria, Queens. 20 CITC young leaders put on the Tournament, bringing together more than 50 local kids from all five boroughs who have been participating in free soccer clinics this summer.

The soccer festivals feature music, face painting and other family-friendly activities. Fidelis Care representatives will be location to answer questions about health insurance and to help eligible residents apply for enrollment.

"Hosting these free soccer festivals in partnership with the NYCFC is a great opportunity for Fidelis Care to provide local families with healthy and fun activities," said Chief Member Engagement Officer Pam Hassen. "Joining with NYCFC to promote the importance of healthy lifestyles and to inspire kids of all ages is central to our mission. We are here to be a resource for the community."

Bronx:

During the 2019 Women’s World Cup, young leaders from East Harlem traveled to Lyon, France to participate in a youth forum that demonstrates soccer’s unique position to promote gender equality. The young leaders have returned to New York City and will share their new skills with the local community at this Festival.
