Improving Access at the Local Level
WellPoint’s Community Resource Centers are dedicated health-access facilities for our members, providers and the underserved. The centers’ outreach specialists conduct education and wellness programs and address social service needs and other barriers to navigating the health care system. By partnering with community organizations, the centers give thousands of families critical information and support to help improve their lives. And as more of these centers go “online,” we hope to reach even more underserved members in our communities.
