"Since we began providing services, we have sought to meet or exceed every requirement the state and DHHS has asked of us. But we have also listened to the voice — of our members — to identify unmet needs and find solutions where we can," said Bill Keena, the plan’s market president. "Today we deepen our commitment to New Hampshire with the opening of our AmeriHealth Caritas New Hampshire Wellness & Opportunity Center.

Keena was on hand along with other community partners to deliver opening remarks and lead a ribbon-cutting ceremony.
