HMS Supports Dallas-based CitySquare’s Efforts to Fight Poverty and Address Social Determinants of Health
December 11 2019 - 8:00AM
HMS (NASDAQ: HMSY) has partnered with Dallas-based CitySquare in
its mission of fighting the causes and effects of poverty through
service, advocacy and friendship by making a $15,000 donation. The
company also hosted a volunteer day where more than 50 employees
were given a first-hand glimpse into CitySquare’s organization with
a personal tour and the opportunity to pack more than 15,000 meals
to feed the hungry.
“As a mission-driven organization, HMS strongly supports the
hard work that CitySquare does every day on the front lines of
fighting poverty and addressing the wellness needs of the whole
person,” said Meredith Bjorck, chief legal officer for HMS. “We are
proud to partner with an organization that shares so many synergies
with our overall mission of making the healthcare system work
better for everyone – including those most in need within our
community.”
Founded in 1988, CitySquare has grown into a broad community
development organization offering a comprehensive array of social
services that address four key areas related to the persistence of
poverty: hunger, health, housing and hope. Its on-site food pantry
serves 2.4 million pounds of food annually to more than 140,000
neighbors. Additionally, CitySquare is home to a community clinic
and provides about 900 units of housing for neighbors via multiple
housing programs.
“We are so appreciative of HMS’ support of CitySquare,” said
John Siburt, president and chief operating officer for CitySquare.
“Their generous monetary donation as well as the giving of time and
talent of their employees is uplifting to all of us. We look
forward to a great partnership with HMS as we work together to
fight against poverty and address social determinants of health
within our community.”
