MediExcel Health Plan designated as the first Binational Live Well San Diego Partner
San Diego, CA (PRWEB) May 19, 2017 -- The County of San Diego has designated MediExcel Health Plan, a California HMO specializing in Binational Healthcare, as its first Binational Partner in its Live Well San Diego vision to help residents build better health, live safely and thrive.
MediExcel Health Plan and the County of San Diego began their collaboration in February, when the first binational, Love Your Heart event took place at MediExcel’s corporate office in Chula Vista, and at its healthcare facilities in Tijuana, Mexico. The event included hundreds of locations across the county and encouraged the community to learn their numbers – when it came to heart health.
Live Well San Diego aligns the efforts of individuals, organizations and government to help the county’s 3.3 million residents learn how to live well and bring about positive change in their lives. By selecting MediExcel Health Plan as its first binational partner, the county is working beyond borders and expanding their collective impact within neighboring communities.
“As a binational region, this is an amazing opportunity to increase Live Well’s ability to promote healthy, safe and thriving populations, on both sides of the border,” said Supervisor Greg Cox, San Diego County Board of Supervisors, District 1.
“By joining Live Well San Diego, MediExcel will continue to improve affordable healthcare access in the region and increase the quality of binational healthcare,” stated MediExcel Health Plan Director of Marketing, Anthony Llompart. “These types of innovative partnerships help address health care challenges in a positive way.”
Live Well San Diego involves partner organizations in all sectors – from government, to businesses, to schools, to faith-based and community organizations – through a shared purpose. Working together allows for planning and implementation of innovative and creative projects to bring Live Well San Diego’s vision of a region that is Building Better Health, Living Safely and Thriving.
