Gala Celebrating Senior-Friendly Organizations

(LONG BEACH, CA – February 14, 2005) — SCAN Health Plan was honored last week by South County Senior Services for the company’s commitment to improving the health and well-being of seniors in South Orange County communities. The recognition was received at the Senior Services Captain’s Ball that is held annually to honor organizations or individuals who have gone “above and beyond” in their caring towards seniors.

“Helping seniors remain healthy and independent is our foremost priority,” said David Schmidt, president and CEO of SCAN Health Plans. “We are honored that South County Senior Services has chosen to recognize us for our efforts.”

resources for seniors to maintain their independence and quality of life. Proceeds from the Captain’s Ball benefit Meals on Wheels, Adult Day Services and other senior services. Also receiving special recognition at the event were Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Beckwith, Bob Stegner of Ingram Micro, and the Change a Life Foundation.
