They know the importance of helping one another and that is best shown by offering employment opportunities to U.S. Military Veterans.

About Community Health Plan

Community Health Plan was established in 1992 by a network of community health centers across Washington State. We provide coverage for people in 33 counties. Our members receive services from more than 1,000 primary care providers and 8,000 specialists at more than 250 primary care sites and over 80 hospitals. We're the fifth-largest health program in Washington (commercial or non-profit).



Access for Today; Action for Tomorrow



At Community Health Plan, we make high-quality health care available to more people. Here's how we do it.



Access: Through our affordable insurance programs, we provide people with access to high-quality health care delivered right in their communities, in ways that fit their cultures, values, and lifestyles.



Action: We're also busy changing the system. We bring together consumers, service providers, advocacy groups, and legislators to make health care more widely available and to create programs and systems that meet real-life needs.



That's our strategy: access plus action. It's unlike anything you'll find from other health plans.

Built by the Community, for the Community



We're different from other health plans because we were created by the community health centers we partner with--front-line health care providers with community roots that stretch back more than 30 years. They're the heart of our company. Through them, we have a closer connection to our customers and a perspective that allows us to develop products and services
that better meet their needs.



Access to Healthcare



We believe everyone has a right to high-quality health care, so we help remove the barriers--financial, cultural, linguistic, geographic, and otherwise--that keep many people from getting medical attention.



We serve people from all walks of life, and we're a recognized leader in providing health care products and services for the under-insured including low-income families, diverse ethnic groups, recent immigrants, and people with disabilities. From the heart of Puget Sound to the communities of Eastern Washington, we provide access to locally delivered treatment and services that incorporate a real understanding of the cultures and traditions of the people we serve. Our work is distinguished by an uncommon commitment to the well-being of our customers and the communities they live in.



Working for Healthier Health Care Policy



It takes action to increase access to health care. That's why we're a vocal, visible catalyst for change, responding to emerging needs and improving existing systems. We passionately advocate for policy that ensures access to health care for every Washington resident. From Main Street to Olympia to Washington, D.C., we organize at the grassroots while working closely with legislators and regulators to shape policy that's more effective.We're also a critical part of the state's safety net for the uninsured and underserved. We've filled the gap left by other health plans by increasing our capacity at existing locations, adding new clinics and providers, and expanding into more counties.



Enriching Communities



Unlike a traditional health plans, we measure success by the health care dollars we're able to return to our communities. For example, we continually reinvest in health centers so they can provide better care to more people. We also fund measures that improve service delivery.At Community Health Plans, they value our retired service personnel.

Pin-Ups for Veterans Comes Out with New Calendar


New Pin Up Girl Works for Troops

by Frederick S. Meessen, American Legion Post 492, West Lafayette, Indiana

Veterans around the country, active duty military, recovering Veterans, and civilians worldwide have become fans of a special project called "Pin-Ups For Vets". The project's "Pin-Up In Chief" Gina Elise, also the the creator and pin-up model in this nostalgic recreation of the 1940's pin-up girl calendar, is on her way to Walter Reed Army Medical Center and Bethesda Naval Hospital and is looking for the public's support .

"Stars and Stripes" newspaper, that goes to all active duty military, recently covered Gina Elise's project for the second time. The deployed troops have enthusiastically supported the calendar project. Gina Elise has had FOUR American flags flown in her honor over military bases in Iraq, and she has received hundreds of letters of appreciation from the troops. She has also received letters of thanks from military and Veterans Hospitals for her visits and gifts to the ill and injured Veterans. The California Jaycees Foundation and California Jr. Chamber of Commerce selected her as "2007 Outstanding Young Californian" for creating this project to support America's Veterans and active duty troops.

Gina Elise, dubbed "the calendar angel" by the deployed troops and the internet's bloggers, graduated Phi Beta Kappa from UCLA in 2004. She is the granddaugher of a Veteran who served 4 years in the Army during World War II. She wanted to do something positive to honor her grandfather's military service to the U.S. and to also focus attention on Veterans' healthcare issues.

Gina Elise begins the 2nd year of a unique fundraiser project she created to raise money for hospitalized Veterans. She is sponsored by American Legion Post 360, Lake Arrowhead, CA, and raises funds for the Post to donate to America's hospitalized Veterans. Her project has been embraced by hundreds of hospitalized Vets, and the project has boosted the morale of the deployed troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. People around the world have purchased her "Pin-Ups For Vets" calendars to support America's ill and injured Vets and deployed troops.

Gina Elise has visited and delivered her nostalgic "Pin-Ups For Vets" calendars to hundreds of Veterans at VA and military hospitals over this past year. Thousands of dollars have been raised to help hospitalized Veterans and under-funded healthcare programs.

Gina Elise, also dubbed " the new Betty Grable", appears as the blonde, brunette, redhead, and raven-haired model in the pin-up calendar, inspired by the 1940's pin-up girls of World War II. An Army Major in Iraq from the 10th Mountain Division recently painted a mural of Gina Elise's pin-up photo on a wall in the military base to help boost morale for the soldiers in his unit.

Gina Elise recently made a trip to Walter Reed Army Medical Center and Bethesda Naval Hospital to deliver the donated "Pin-Ups For Vets" calendars and posters to the recently Wounded Warriors. The donated calendars and posters are inscribed with personalized messages of appreciation and get-well wishes to the ill and injured troops. Her goal is to bring a calendar to each of the Wounded Warriors, as well as the ill and injured Veterans, at these two hospitals. The proceeds from the sales of the 2008 calendar and posters will once again go to support an underfunded Veterans healthcare program.


Gina Elise gets many requests from the deployed troops for her calendars like this one:

*************************************************************************************
"Dearest Gina,

I am the Maneuver Platoon Sergeant here in ________ Afghanistan. I have a total of 20 Airborne Paratroopers under my supervision. We conduct a variety of patrols and leader engagements throughout our AO.

I found your story in the "Stars and Stripes" and thought of how much calendars are needed where we are located. See, we are a very small FOB, slightly over 200 Soldiers, Sailors, and Airmen. We lack lots of the amenities located at larger FOBs (ie: Cold Drinks, Mail, Finance and lots more). I wish to ask if you could send a few of your calendars to our FOB for distribution. I thank you for all your support from the home front. "

************************************************************************************

Hundreds of military members, Veterans, and civilians visit Gina Elise's website daily at : PinUpsForVets.com and go to the "behind the project" pages to read more about this calendar fundraiser for hospitalized Veterans. Gina Elise's fans frequently visit the "In the Field" pages to see all the smiling Vets and troops with the calendars and to learn more about Gina Elise's visits to military and VA Hospitals .

Pin-up fans or people wanting to support American's hospitalized Veterans and troops can visit Gina Elise's website to order a calendar or a poster for themselves, for a hospitalized Veteran, or for a deployed soldier. People can also order by mailing a check to : Gina Elise, P.O. Box 14, Redlands, CA 92373. Calendars are 22.00 and posters are 18.00 ( includes tax and shipping).
