In January, we called on our entire Jefferson community to volunteer 200,000 hours in our communities in honor of our 200th birthday. And we’re proud to report that as of today, we logged our 100,000th hour, meaning we’re half way toward our goal of 200,000 hours! The impact of 200,000 hours of service is tangible, and we’d like to recognize the project that led us to the 100K mark: Camp Charlie. Projects like Camp Charlie are a testament to our commitment to making a positive difference. Camp Charlie is a week-long, day-camp for children ages 6-12 who have experienced the loss of a loved one. The Philadelphia Zoo, which turns 150 this year, and the Franklin Institute, which, like us, is turning 200, have generously donated tickets to our Camp Charlie campers so they can keep the fun going this summer. Thank you to all the members of Jefferson who have volunteered as part of this incredible service initiative. #Jefferson200 Jefferson Health Jefferson Health Plans Thomas Jefferson University

This month, we spoke with Jefferson Health Plans employees to learn what men's health means to them. Jorge Parra, Director of Health & Wellness, shared some insight on how fitness benefits all areas of his life.
