Fidelis Care Career Events

Traditions, customs, and duration vary for Lunar New Year celebrations depending on the country. It is celebrated in East and Southeast Asian countries including China, Vietnam, Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia. The holiday is known as Chun Jie (Spring Festival) in China, Seollal in Korea, and Tet Nguyen Dan in Vietnam. Growing up as a Chinese American, my family always celebrated Lunar New Year. My parents emphasized the value of New Year traditions to pass along to the next generation.

Fidelis Care is proud to recognize and honor the brave veterans within our organization, in our communities, and across the nation. Some Fidelis Care employees shared their thoughts. Scott Averill, Senior Vice President, Sales and Co-Chair of Fidelis Care’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Council, served in The Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) from 1972-1976.

Hispanic communities encounter significant disparities in accessing quality healthcare and achieving the best health outcomes. Throughout National Hispanic Heritage Month, Fidelis Care celebrates diversity, equity, and inclusion by supporting our Hispanic colleagues and partners.

Hispanic communities often face health disparities because of inequalities based on ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and geography. During Hispanic Heritage Month, we are proud to recognize the diverse backgrounds and cultures of our Hispanic community partners and to highlight the contributions they make to address issues in their communities.

As Hispanic Heritage Month begins September 15, Fidelis Care joins New York State and the nation in celebrating the rich cultural heritage, contributions, and resilience of the Hispanic community. Hispanic Heritage Month reflects my culture, family, and joy. That’s what I experienced as a child in the Dominican Republic and embrace today. I am proud of my heritage, and work to educate and empower my children to be proud of who they are and what they represent. I consider the month a celebration of my authentic self.
