“Spring into Health” at this free family event

SilverSummit Healthplan, a health care provider serving eligible Medicaid recipients in Nevada alongside the NyE Communities Coalition (NyECC), will be hosting a free event titled “Spring into Health: A Family Fun Day” later this week in Pahrump.

“The intention is to provide a family-oriented event filled with fun activities,” SilverSummit Healthplan Manager of Resource Coordination Eduardo Menchaca told the Pahrump Valley Times.

The Spring into Health event will be on Friday, March 13, from 4 to 7 p.m. and held at the NyECC Activities Center, located at 1020 E. Wilson Rd. The event will feature a live DJ, free food, yard games, raffles, giveaways, airbrushed T-shirts or hats and photos with the Easter Bunny.

“The idea is to invite all of our families in the Pahrump community and nearby communities as well to have just a very fun, chill evening,” Menchaca enthused.

While children of all ages enjoy the event’s activities, SilverSummit Healthplan will be available at the event to chat with parents or caregivers about its services, answer any questions and provide information about how they can help.

“It’s really complicated to navigate insurance and health care in general,” Menchaca explained. “We want to make sure that we’re there to make the process simpler for our members and for our community.”
