Health Equity

At Fidelis Care, we believe everyone should have the opportunity to live a healthy life. It’s our mission to ensure New Yorkers have access to high-quality healthcare, so they can get the care they need when they need it.

But many other factors contribute to an individual’s health and wellness beyond access to healthcare. Socioeconomic conditions can influence health risks and outcomes. Poverty, food insecurity, housing instability, education, employment, access to transportation and other circumstances contribute to health disparities among underserved and vulnerable populations.

Fidelis Care is committed to removing those barriers to health to improve access, quality, and affordability. It is an ongoing process that requires working together with our members, providers, and community-based organizations to support fair and just opportunities to equal access to healthcare.

Key partnerships

Wellness commitment to Buffalo Urban League

To nurture social entrepreneurship, facilitate wellness, and strengthen organizations focused on Black, Indigenous and People of Color in Buffalo’s East Side, Fidelis Care and the Centene Foundation donated $1.1 million to the Buffalo Urban League (BUL) to help establish its new headquarters and develop a Wellness and Entrepreneurial Center.

In addition, Fidelis Care partners with BUL through community programs and at events held in the city focused on health, family support and stabilization services, foster care, adoption, education, job training, employment, scholarships, and more.

Mental health alliance with The Jed Foundation

As part of our behavioral health efforts, Fidelis Care and the Centene Foundation awarded $1.1 million to The Jed Foundation (JED) to protect the mental health of New York State’s youth.

Through the funding, JED will expand its current services, providing at least five youth-serving community-based organizations (CBOs) with consultation or strategic planning services, including expert guidance, educational workshops, and training programs, equipping young people with life skills and connecting them to mental healthcare when they are in distress.

Celebrating the Launch of the 2025 Fidelis Care Community Impact Report
2/3/2026 • Posted by Provider Relations in Provider News

Fidelis Care is pleased to announce the release of our 2025 Community Impact Report, a comprehensive look at how we worked together to make a difference in communities across New York State. The report reflects our shared commitment to health equity, access, and whole-person care. These values guide every interaction with our members and every partnership with providers like you. From expanding preventive services to addressing health-related social needs, the report showcases how collaboration drives meaningful change.

 

The report details initiatives that directly impact your work and your patients, including nearly $650,000 in Health Equity Grants, expanded StreetSide RV outreach, and partnerships that integrate behavioral health into primary care. You’ll also find insights on our Here for Your Health campaign, which connects members to culturally competent services and resources statewide. These efforts are designed to support providers in delivering care that is accessible, personalized, and responsive to the needs of diverse communities.

 

As trusted partners, you play a vital role in advancing health outcomes. The Community Impact Report is more than a summary; it’s a roadmap for continued collaboration. By understanding the programs and resources available, you can help close care gaps, address social needs, and strengthen the provider-patient relationship. Together, we can ensure that every New Yorker has the opportunity to live a healthier life.
