A

Community
health
choices
is
a
new
program.
That's
coming
out
on
the
Commonwealth.
The
Commonwealth
is
moving
this
program
across
the
state
southeast
region
is
the
latest
region
that
we
going
into
the
community
health
choices
program
which
impacts,
Bucks,
Chester,
Montgomery,
Delaware,
County
and
the
city
of
Adelphia,
and
really
the
goal
of
community
health
choices
is
to
provide
more
services
for
people
in
the
community
as
opposed
to
in
facilities
and
with.
B
On
the
community
health
choices,
if
you
have
both
Medicare
and
Medicaid,
you
will
receive
opportunity
to
go
into
community
health
choices.
Also,
if
you
are
person
that
is
in
a
nursing
home
I've,
you
have
a
home
health
aide
or
if
you've
received
some
type
of
care
in
your
home,
where
your
community
you'll
also
be
eligible
for
community
health
sources.
There.
B
B
Well
importance
by
December
21st:
you
must
like
one
of
the
three
managed
care
organizations
which
is
keystone,
first
P,
a
health
and
wellness
or
UPMC
Community
Health
choices.
So
you
have
to
select
one
of
those
three
providers
by
December
21st,
if
not
you'll,
be
automatically
enrolled
in
one
of
them
in
the
beginning
of
next
year
and
with.
B
A
B
One
of
the
things
you
can
always
do
is
contact
one
of
the
three
providers,
which
is
Keystone
first
P,
a
health
and
wellness
or
UPMC
community
health
choices.
You
can
also
go
to
the
state
website,
which
is
P
a
govt
and
do
a
search
for
garden,
community
health
choices,
or
you
can
reach
out
to
some
of
our
local
organization
like
to
fill
out
the
corporation
for
aging.
What.
B
A
There
will
be
options,
but,
as
we
mentioned,
some
80,000
people
in
Philadelphia
will
be
impacted
by
community
health
choices.
Many
more
people
across
the
Commonwealth
as
well,
but
when
we
talk
about
these
changes
that
can
be.
When
we
talk
about
these
changes,
it
can
be
challenging
for
people
to
think
about
change,
but
could
this
potentially
be
beneficial
for
people
and
their
health
care?
What.
B
The
goal
of
this
program
is
to
really
provide
more
resources
in
the
community.
S
chair,
the
council
committee,
often
a.disabled
in
persons
with
special
needs,
as
well
as
the
vice-chair
of
our
council
Committee
on
Aging
I
thought
was
very
important
to
have
this
hearing
and
to
use
this
opportunity
to
get
information
out
that
people
don't
get
confused
and
get
upset.
But
there's
resources
here
to
really
provide
more
service
for
you
in
the
community
and.
