In celebration of the 5th anniversary of its Victorville-based Community Wellness Center, Inland Empire Health Plan officials will be hosting a free family-friendly event on Saturday, April 20 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. The event will take place at 12353 Mariposa Road, Suites C2 and C3 in Victorville and will include promotions, raffles, toy giveaways, snacks, balloon twisters, fitness and cooking demonstrations, and more.
The Community Wellness Center offers year-round classes and resources at no cost, serving as a beacon of hope and support for individuals struggling with weight, loneliness, or in need of additional services such as housing, after-school programming, and food. With nearly 135,000 residents in Victorville, many have to travel to access vital services. The goal of the center is to bridge the gap between limited resources in the area and those who need them.
Inland Empire Health Plan is one of the top 10 largest Medicaid health plans and the largest not-for-profit Medicare-Medicaid public health plan in the country. The wellness center has been certified as “A Great Place To Work” for the third year in a row. With over 1.5 million Riverside and San Bernardino County residents enrolled in Medicaid or IEHP DualChoice, Inland Empire Health Plan has a network of nearly 6,800 providers and over 3,000 team members committed to the vision.
