Monday, January 16, 2017, AccessHealth was honored with the D
r. Martin Luther King, Jr. Humanitarian Award at the 30th annual Unity Week Celebration. The award is given to a business or non-profit organization which exhibits exemplary practices that will have a fundamental impact on our community. AccessHealth Director Carey Rothschild says, "This is a tremendous honor, but more importantly it is important affirmation of the culture our team has built at AccessHealth Spartanburg. Talking about diversity isn't enough. Writing your values down on a piece of paper is insufficient. The City of Spartanburg's MLK Humanitarian Award recognizes organizations that put their values into work, in their hiring and employment, in their outreach, and in their impact on the community. I'm so proud that not just what our team does, but how we do it, was recognized with this award."

Rismani: Falling Into the Coverage Gap
|
|
We are grateful to work with talented volunteers who bring diverse sets of skills and talents to our organization.
|
Mina Rismani, a junior at Wofford College and one of our long-time, dedicated volunteers, wrote a very insightful column in the Spartanburg Harold - Journal about the healthcare coverage gap impacting Spartanburg residents and how AccessHealth is working to bridge that gap.
RN Case Manager, Summer Tebalt, with a patient
"In Spartanburg County alone, nearly 13,000 people don't qualify for marketplace subsidies and tax credits. Nationally, these apply only to individuals living between 100 percent and 400 percent of the federal poverty level. This measure leaves a significant percentage of people unable to afford health insurance and thus creates what is called the 'coverage gap.'"
