The Purpose Driven Church and WellCare have teamed up to give a new twist to the traditional Easter celebration in Charlotte, North Carolina. Instead of attending church services and hunting for eggs, the community was invited to attend a block party hosted by WellCare on Sunday. The event aimed to promote health and wellness by providing information about Medicaid and fun activities like bounce houses, egg collection, and food trucks.
Alisha Martin, senior communications representative for WellCare, emphasized the importance of educating the community about the resources available to them. By incorporating fun activities for kids and providing valuable information to parents, the block party served as an effective way to engage with the community and share important knowledge. Martin expressed her dedication to serving the community and providing valuable resources despite taking place on a holiday like Easter.
The expansion of Medicaid in North Carolina is a game-changer for low-income families as it allows them to access crucial healthcare services without worrying about financial burdens. Initiatives like this block party play a vital role in supporting the well-being of the community by creating a safety net and helping families stretch their dollars.
