IEHP joins community to spread Christmas Cheer All Year

Santa and his merry elves ushered in the holiday season at the annual Christmas Cheer All Year giveaway at The Way World Outreach church in San Bernardino on Dec. 22.

Hosted by former Fox 11 reporter Rick Lozano and his wife, Heather, the event connects families in need to food, resources and so much more.

Inland Empire Health Plan was among the participating agencies. Volunteer team members passed out comic books, coloring books and pamphlets on the importance of scheduling your annual checkup in the new year.

“A lot of stressors come with the holiday season, and we’re here to provide some relief and celebrate the season with the community,” said IEHP Health Equity Programs Liaison Adai Taylor. “We want to let everyone here know that IEHP is the region’s ‘health plan with a heart’ by being a part of their Christmas story.”
