Women’s Health

Staying healthy and well is one of the most important things women can do for themselves and for their loved ones. Here are some ways women can put their health first:

 

Stay Active

Regular exercise can help women boost their mood, maintain a healthy weight, and improve sleep. It also lowers risk for heart disease, breast cancer, stroke, and type 2 diabetes. Women should speak with their doctor about what type of exercise is right for them.

Eat Healthy
Eating healthy can help women improve their health and prevent diseases. Eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, as well as lean meats, poultry, fish, beans, eggs, and nuts. Avoid having too much sodium, sugar, cholesterol, saturated fats, and trans fats.
Get Regular Checkups
Regular checkups and wellness exams help women increase their chances of living a longer, healthier life. Women should check with their primary care provider about the care and screenings they need, and whether they should schedule an in-person or telehealth appointment.

Follow Recommended Screenings
Maintain Healthy Levels
A well-rounded diet and regular exercise can help keep women’s blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar at healthy levels. Women should talk to their primary care provider or heart specialist about safely reducing their risk and setting goals for a healthier heart.
Avoid Smoking
Smoking or using tobacco products greatly increases women’s risk of heart disease. Women who want to quit should speak to their primary care provider for help and to see if there are medications or nicotine replacement products that are right for them. Non-smokers who have high blood pressure or high blood cholesterol also have a greater risk of developing heart disease when they’re exposed to secondhand smoke.

National Pharmacy Week: Dedication, Compassion, and Expertise
10/15/2025 • Posted by Andrea Papia, PharmD, Fidelis Care Senior Manager, Clinical Pharmacy Services

pharmacy week

National Pharmacy Week is a time to recognize the vital role pharmacists play in healthcare. We are educators, advocates, and problem-solvers. We are part of the care team, and we are committed to improving members’ lives.

As we celebrate the week, I’m proud to reflect on my journey as a pharmacist and the incredible work being done by the Fidelis Care pharmacy team to support our members.

My career at Fidelis Care has been a dynamic and rewarding path. I began as a pharmacist on our HealthierLife Health and Recovery Plan (HARP) team, where I gained firsthand experience supporting members with complex behavioral health needs. From there, I transitioned into Utilization Management, where I had the opportunity to grow as a people leader, an experience that deepened my appreciation for team collaboration and the importance of mentorship. Today, I serve as the Senior Manager of Clinical Pharmacy Services for the Medicare Pharmacy team, with a primary focus on quality.

Providing high-quality care has always been at the heart of my work. Whether it’s reviewing medication regimens, collaborating with providers, or advocating for member needs, our goal is simple: ensure every individual receives the care and support they deserve. My team works tirelessly with providers and members to close gaps in care, promote medication adherence, improve outcomes, and make sure no one falls through the cracks.

I’m incredibly proud of the pharmacy team at Fidelis Care. Every interaction with members is guided by empathy, respect, and a genuine desire to help. We understand that behind every prescription is a person with unique needs, and we take that responsibility seriously.

Our pharmacists’ dedication, compassion, and clinical expertise make a real difference in the lives of our members every day. We also benefit from strong partnerships across the organization, with colleagues from various disciplines working together to deliver integrated, person-centered care.

To my fellow pharmacists, thank you for your unwavering commitment to our profession and those we serve.
