Anthem HealthKeepers: A True Partner in Supporting Families with Medical Complexities
Anthem Healthkeepers Plus has been a steadfast partner of Better2gether, lending its support to families of children with medical complexities through events, programs, and advocacy. Their involvement has not only made a tangible difference in the lives of these families but has also enriched the company’s approach to community engagement.
“We’ve been working with Better2gether for so long that I can’t remember who reached out to whom first!” shared JohnJason Cecil from Anthem HealthKeepers Plus. “However, once contact was made, it soon became evident that our relationship would be mutually beneficial to our respective missions.”
Empowering Families and Raising Awareness
One of the highlights of Anthem’s partnership is their sponsorship of Better2gether’s Halloween Hustle 5K this past October. The event, which brings together the community in festive costumes, raised critical funds to support programs like the Family Navigator. Reflecting on the event, JohnJason shared, “Seeing the Ghostbusters at the Halloween Hustle one year was amazing! It’s moments like these that highlight the joy and community Better2gether fosters.”
Anthem’s commitment also extends into the holiday season. On December 7, they proudly sponsored the Family Holiday Party, a joyful gathering designed to include accessible activities, gifts, and resources for families navigating extraordinary challenges.
Looking forward, Anthem’s pledge to sponsor a Respite Day for Families in 2025 underscores their dedication to giving caregivers a much-needed break. “Better2gether is a champion for these families, and Anthem HealthKeepers Plus is proud to be the ‘Robin’ to their ‘Batman,’” JohnJason added.
What Sets Better2gether Apart
“Better2gether sets itself apart by being a supportive shoulder,” said Geiselle Oyola, Community Relations Representative from Anthem HealthKeepers Plus. “They understand how difficult it is to be a caregiver of a child with complex medical needs and work tirelessly to provide a vast diaspora of resources for families, as well as recreational opportunities for the children.”
Through their partnership, Anthem HealthKeepers Plus has strengthened its resolve to serve Medicaid-eligible families and find innovative ways to connect with those in need. “Being able to help a family raising a child with special needs is edifying to the soul,” Geiselle reflected.
Encouraging Others to Join the Mission
When asked what she’d say to encourage other companies to partner with Better2gether, Geiselle’s response was clear: “It doesn’t matter what your business is—an opportunity to help is an opportunity to help. Supporting Better2gether is definitely doing a good thing.”
JohnJason, Geiselle and Anthem HealthKeepers Plus exemplify what it means to be true partners, championing Better2gether’s mission to provide resources, community, and hope to families who need it most.
Better2gether is grateful for Anthem HealthKeepers' unwavering partnership in fostering hope, support, and joy for families navigating extraordinary challenges. Together, we’re making a difference!
