We had a great time at Newport Night Out!
Hundreds of families came out for food, family fun, door prizes, and community resources.
WellCare was a sponsor of the event, and we provided Back to School-related and other promo items, educational information, benefits brochures, stickers for the kiddos (and for those young at heart), and redetermination information.
