      A TRIBUTE TO UNITEDHEALTHCARE COMMUNITY PLAN OF PENNSYLVANIA

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. ROBERT A. BRADY

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, May 16, 2012

  Mr. BRADY of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
UnitedHealthcare Community Plan of Pennsylvania, which serves over 
280,000 Pennsylvania residents through Medicaid, Medicare and the 
Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP).
  The UnitedHealthcare Community Plan of Pennsylvania has been under 
operation for more than 20 years, serving the healthcare needs of low-
income Philadelphians. On May 4, 2012, UnitedHealthcare Community Plan 
opened a new multicultural community office in South Philadelphia to 
make its services more accessible to its members and to the larger 
community. UHC has staffed the new office with employees from a variety 
of ethnic groups to show the diversity of the surrounding-community.
  At the UnitedHealthcare Multicultural Office in Philadelphia, 
residents of the community will be able to apply for low or no-cost 
health insurance, renew their health coverage, gain more understanding 
of their health benefits, and attend special events such as health and 
wellness workshops, citizenship and English as a Second Language (ESL) 
classes, and free health screenings.
  It is with great honor that I recognize the UnitedHealthcare 
Community Plan of Pennsylvania and the new UnitedHealthcare 
Multicultural Office in Philadelphia as valuable resources of the state 
of Pennsylvania. I am proud to have such a wonderful organization in my 
state and community, and I look forward to watching it continue to 
succeed and grow.
