Women’s Health

Staying healthy and well is one of the most important things women can do for themselves and for their loved ones, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. 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.

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.

Fidelis Care Shares Essential Plan Expansion News with a StreetSide RV Visit in Rochester
7/13/2024 • Posted by Fidelis Care

A Fidelis Care StreetSide RV visited a Rochester shopping plaza in June to share information about NY State of Health’s recent eligibility expansion for The Essential Plan.

The Essential Plan now allows more New Yorkers access to high-quality, affordable health insurance. New Yorkers whose income is up to 250 percent of the Federal Poverty Line, which stands at a $37,650 annual income for an individual, may now be eligible for Essential Plan coverage.

The Essential Plan expansion aims to bridge the gap for those who may not qualify for Medicaid Managed Care but still need access to quality, low-cost health insurance. The Essential Plan is designed to help individuals and families who fall into certain income categories, providing them with essential health benefits, including a $0 monthly premium, no deductible, low out of pocket costs, dental and vision coverage with $0 copay, and free preventive care.

Fidelis Care’s trained and knowledgeable representatives – who speak more than 25 languages – can explain the Essential Plan’s costs, benefits, eligibility criteria, and enrollment process to people who need health insurance.

Fidelis Care Representatives are available by phone at 1-888-FIDELIS (1-888-343-3547), online at fideliscare.org, as well as at more than 20 Community Offices and dozens of StreetSide RV locations throughout the state.
