Phoenix Rising Football Club announced today that Equality Health, a culturally-focused health care delivery system in Arizona, will be the official presenting sponsor for the 2018 season.
“Healthy living and an active lifestyle are very important to our organization,” said Phoenix Rising FC governor, Berke Bakay. “So, it was a natural fit to partner with an innovative company like Equality Health. Their dedication to underserved communities is in line with our goals and desire to make an impact in the community.”
Working with Phoenix Rising to build healthier communities, Equality Health will be donating 400 home-game tickets to youth soccer clubs in underserved neighborhoods in Phoenix. The organization will also be offering fans free health care information and wellness tips as part of its sponsor messaging.
“Our unique Cultural Care Model seeks to examine all factors that impact a person’s health, going beyond what you see in the doctor’s office to address things like cultural values, mental health, family dynamics and access to critical resources,” said Hugh Lytle, Equality Health Founder and CEO. “We’re proud to support Phoenix Rising in its work to help build stronger communities and promote healthy, active lifestyles.”
The fastest growing health network in Arizona, Equality Health is developing an innovative health care delivery system for racial and ethnic minorities that have suffered the most when it comes to access, cultural assistance and quality of care in the traditional one-size-fits-all model of care. Equality Health programs engage diverse members with an integrated approach that encompasses culturally-competent provider networks, mobile-based patient engagement platforms and proprietary cultural care pathways, designed to improve chronic conditions that affect disparate populations.
