What a fantastic week at VillageCare! 🌟 Our Health and Wellness Week was filled with fun and fitness for everyone—think brain-boosting games, movement workshops, healthy eating webinars, and rejuvenating chair massages! We swung into action with mini golf, got our game on with Connect 4 and Jenga, sipped refreshing drinks, and enjoyed friendly bingo showdowns. Coming together both online and at our Charles Street and VillageCare 46&Ten locations truly helped us connect and celebrate wellness in mind, body, and spirit. Here’s to thriving together! 🙌💚

Today marks a major milestone in American health care. On July 30, 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed both Medicare and Medicaid into law—expanding access to health care for millions of older adults, people with disabilities, and low-income families.
At VillageCareMAX, we serve dual-eligible individuals who qualify for both Medicare and Medicaid. Our mission is rooted in ensuring that care remains accessible, compassionate, and community-based. Our plans are designed to meet their unique needs and help them live independently—with dignity and support.
Nearly 60 years later, these programs remain a cornerstone of health equity- and we’re proud to be part of that legacy every day.

What an action-packed day at the VillageCareMAX Bronx Community Center! 🎉 We joined forces with the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene for an informative session with our members and the community on health and mental well-being! Together, we tackled the impacts of v**e, e-cigarettes, and to***co on overall health, while providing resources for those looking to quit.

A big shoutout to Mosholu Montefiore Community Center, (MMCC) for assisting with valuable resources on Real ID, OMNY, and legal aid for housing and immigration. We finished off the day by distributing fresh fruits, courtesy of Sharing Excess —Mandarins, Strawberries, Lemons, and Yellow Peppers—to promote healthy eating. Here’s to better health and community connections!
