French Camp, California (June 17, 2021) – Health Plan of San Joaquin (HPSJ) this year marks its 25^th anniversary while looking back in their newly released Community Report on another successful year of collaborating throughout the community to improve health.

As many in the Valley disproportionately suffered from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, HPSJ reaffirmed its devotion to local individuals and families. From the pandemic’s outset, they scrambled to develop innovative programs and partnerships to aptly meet the emerging needs of HPSJ members, providers and local stakeholders.

HPSJ Chief Executive Officer Michael Schrader said: “Through these trying times, HPSJ takes pride in our ability to maintain and elevate our service. There remains much to be done to ensure resiliency beyond the pandemic. I am confident our efforts will continue to catalyze progress as we listen to our members’ needs and respond with key initiatives on behalf of our community.”
