Wellpoint

Wellpoint Washington, as part of its commitment to whole health care, is working with Summit Pacific Health Center in rural Grays Harbor County on a Food is Medicine program. The program addresses the county's high rate of chronic illnesses, including high blood pressure, obesity and diabetes, by providing healthy meals and offering cooking classes. Wellpoint Washington also donated a mobile medical van to Summit Pacific Health Center to expand their reach in rural areas. https://lnkd.in/gduMR7BD

We are extremely grateful to our partners at Wellpoint for sharing our mission of creating the healthiest community in the nation. On July 24th, WellPoint graciously donated a mobile clinic van to Summit, which will serve as a vital health access point for residents in rural Grays Harbor. This incredible contribution will help us provide essential healthcare services to those who need it most. “When we think about closing the healthcare access and outcomes disparities, we know that solving the transportation issue is one of the biggest steps we can take for patients. Our mobile medical vans help our healthcare providers in rural and underserved communities gain access to medical services that can address and resolve chronic health issues like diabetes and high blood pressure,” said Lisa Bogard, President and CEO of Wellpoint Washington. “The vision of Summit Pacific to create the healthiest communities in the nation is one that inspires our entire Wellpoint team, and we are thrilled to put this key piece in place to help them reach their lofty, but achievable, goal.” Thank you to State senators Kevin Van De Wege (D), Jeff Wilson (R) and State representatives, Mike Chapman (D), Steve Tharinger (D), and Jim Walsh (R), for showcasing bipartisan support for SPMC’s initiatives. Elma Mayor Josh Collette and other community dignitaries also attended, highlighting the community’s united front in advancing local healthcare.

On Thursday, August 8th, Wellpoint New Jersey, Channel 12, and the South Amboy YMCA collaborated for a Back to School event.

Here's to building stronger communities, one event at a time!🎒📚✏️ #BackToSchool #WellpointintheCommunity #SouthAmboyYMCA #channel12
