September 5, 2022September 12, 2022 R.L. Witter

Amerigroup New Jersey, in conjunction with numerous community partners, made it possible for families to receive new shoes and socks in time for summer. The City of Newark and the Newark Board of Education partnered with Amerigroup Community Care for the event, which took place at 2 Grafton Avenue in Newark’s North Ward on June 18.

Amerigroup, a NJ leader in healthcare for over 25 years, helps improve health care access and quality for more than 250,000 residents throughout the state by developing innovative care management programs and services. Members are assured care that is not only accessible but also accountable, comprehensive, integrated, and patient-centered. The event, part of Amerigroup New Jersey’s ongoing outreach encouraging members to become active participants in their health care, served dozens of families in an effort to equip them to run, jump, and play during a safe and happy summer.
