Did you know that we are supported by a team of local Medical Directors? That’s right, a team of 27 doctors who live and work right here in our communities serve as Medical Directors for the health plan. Their work ensures that every one of our members is receiving equitable, high-quality care that’s as affordable as possible. This month let’s learn a little bit more about Dr. Fitzpatrick.

For Excellus BlueCross BlueShield Employee Paul Barone, The Walk to Defeat ALS is a way to give back to his community while helping to raise funds to support education, access to care, and advocacy of those with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. We are proud of Paul’s commitment to The ALS Association and honored to join him in the work being done to defeat this disease and provide hope to people living with ALS and the families and friends who support them. Paul and his furry friend "Levi" (pictured) have raised close to $3,000 participating in the event over the past five years.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by our Wellness and Resource Day to learn about on-site support available to help community members with inquiries about billing, insurance, Medicare, and more. We were excited to have our partners at Guthrie Lourdes Mobile Mammography Unit attending to highlight the importance of regular screenings and make it convenient for everyone to schedule a mammogram.
