Navigating health insurance can be complex and costly. That’s why Lisa Wright, President and CEO of Community Health Choice, recently appeared on Great Day Houston to help viewers better understand their options. During her interview, Lisa explained how Community is helping Houstonians access affordable, quality healthcare, particularly for those who need it most.

Texas has the highest percentage of uninsured residents in the country, with over a million people in Harris County alone lacking coverage. Lisa discussed how this impacts not just individuals but the entire healthcare system: Many people without insurance do not receive care until it becomes an emergency, driving up costs for everyone. To combat this reality, Community offers a range of affordable plans, including CHIP (Children’s Health Insurance Program) and D-SNP (Dual Special Needs Plan), so that individuals and families can receive care without financial strain.

One important takeaway from Lisa’s interview was the importance of prevention. “Prevention is key,” she emphasized, noting that routine care, such as dental checkups or mammograms, helps prevent more serious health issues later in life. She urged viewers to take a proactive approach to their well-being and trust Community to help access vital preventative care services.

With open enrollment beginning November 1st, Lisa encouraged everyone to revisit their health insurance options for the coming year. She emphasized that Community provides affordable coverage without sacrificing quality, offering access to nearly every major hospital system in Houston. Members can rest assured they are receiving the best care available.

Health insurance doesn’t have to be confusing or out of reach. Community is here to help every step of the way, ensuring Houstonians have the support they need to live healthier lives through preventive care and affordable, accessible insurance plans.
