As the COVID-19 situation continues to evolve, it's important to recognize the array of support systems that have been disrupted. 福利视频 is providing grants to Area Agencies on Aging to enable grocery and meal deliveries for members with disabilities who are unable to access nutritious food.

In line with our history of removing healthcare barriers, 福利视频 launched the Provider Accessibility Initiative (PAI) to help people living with disabilities access quality healthcare. A new PAI COVID-19 Web Series聽will provide timely recommendations on how providers and organizations can deliver disability-competent care during the pandemic and beyond.

Trainings include webinars and additional support to help long-term service providers and other safety net organizations gain access to government-sponsored small business loans.

As a national leader in managed long-term services and supports, we recognize the unique needs and preferences of individuals with disabilities. Our commitment to removing barriers to healthcare for all we serve is an integral component of 福利视频's purpose-driven work.
