September 2017 — Since Premier Health Solutions is a third-party administrator with members and benefit partners in Texas and Florida, the news of the hurricane devastation brought on by Harvey and Irma created an overwhelming desire to help those affected.
Health Depot Association and Affiliated Workers Association, both of which Premier Health Solutions provides member services for, have members in the affected areas. Each association provided a $500 donation to the Red Cross to make sure those devastated by the hurricanes could get support immediately.
Two of our benefit providers – Compass Patient Advocacy Services and Teladoc – provided emergency resources for those impacted by the hurricane. We sent emails to help find urgent care centers and/or access care via telemedicine to the members dealing with health needs in the hurricane-impacted areas.
In addition, Premier Health Solutions has been working with each association to make sure social media channels are updated regularly with information regarding benefits and resources available to these members.
This past week, a local outreach agency, Frisco Family Services, communicated a need for food and resources to help evacuees from Harvey, and Premier Health Solutions was pleased to donate $1,000 to help to replenish the food pantry.
Premier Health Solutions is committed to monitoring ongoing clean-up efforts and health needs by those impacted by the hurricanes and providing additional support and resources as they become available.
