New Middletown Location Signifies Continued Growth and Expansion, and an Opportunity to Offer Access to Quality, Affordable Healthcare to Even More New Yorkers

 

Middletown, NY, December 11, 2019 – Healthfirst, New York’s largest not-for-profit health insurance company¹ with more than 1.4 million members, is excited to announce the opening of its first location in the Mid-Hudson Valley and to cement its presence in Orange County. The newly constructed space is located in the Galleria at Crystal Run. A grand opening and ribbon-cutting ceremony was held on Tuesday, December 10, 2019.

Healthfirst has nearly 2,000 members in Orange and Sullivan counties since beginning to serve the area in September 2019, including enrollees acquired from the now closed Crystal Run Health Plan.

La apertura de esta nueva sucursal es importante para el crecimiento continuo de Healthfirst y su promesa de brindar un servicio al cliente culturalmente competente y de alta calidad a sus miembros. The Middletown location is staffed with highly knowledgeable Healthfirst representatives fluent in English and Spanish and who also can communicate in French, Creole, and other languages. These representatives will answer questions and help enroll those interested in getting Healthfirst health insurance coverage. The Middletown location is open to the public Monday to Friday, from 10am to 7pm, on Saturday from 10am to 5:30pm, and on Sunday from 12pm to 5pm.

"We are excited to bring the Hudson Valley region more than 25 years of experience in offering high-quality, affordable health coverage. Our expansion is deliberate, as we reach more New Yorkers through value-based payment arrangements with high-quality physician groups like Crystal Run Healthcare," said Errol Pierre, Senior Vice President, State Programs at Healthfirst. "We believe healthcare is local. So like all of the neighborhoods we serve, our vision for the Mid-Hudson Valley will include investments in the community, increased brand awareness, culturally competent care, and learning more about the needs of the region so that we can provide curated programs that speak uniquely to the residents we will serve."

Guest speakers at the ceremony included:

• • Bill Scesney, Assistant Vice President, Montefiore Health System
  • Darcy L. Shepard, Chief Executive Officer, Middletown Medical
  • Kyle Russo, Practice Manager, Cross Valley Health & Medicine
