ROANOKE, VA – Aetna Better Health® of Virginia, a CVS Health® company (NYSE: [CVS](https://www.cvshealth.com/news.html)), announced the opening of its new Community Resource Center (CRC) in Roanoke, located at the Roanoke Redevelopment and Housing Authority’s [EnVision Center](https://rkehousing.org/envision-center/). The CRC is open to the public and expands access to health and wellness services by helping individuals and families navigate health care benefits, connect to local resources and better understand and manage their health – including support for maternal health, chronic conditions such as diabetes and social care needs. The center is also equipped with computers, state of the art teleconferencing and a private space for medical conversations.

For many families, navigating health care and social services can feel overwhelming. That is why the CRC is staffed with a dedicated team of Aetna community engagement staff members who can help families access health services and available benefits with the goal of removing barriers and making critical connections to care.

“Improving health starts with meeting people where they are, and this new Community Resource Center gives us a tangible way to do that in Roanoke,” said Joel Gray, CEO of Aetna Better Health of Virginia. “By bringing together trusted guidance, practical tools and connections to local resources, we’re helping individuals and families take meaningful steps toward better health – whether that means managing a chronic condition, supporting a healthy pregnancy or accessing benefits that enable long-term well-being.”

The opening of Aetna’s Community Resource Center coincided with the EnVision Center’s annual spring community cookout which took place on April 4 and brought families together to enjoy a free book fair, food and giveaways. The Aetna Wellness on Wheels (AWoW) mobile RV unit was also onsite to provide free blood pressure and BMI screenings for attendees.

“The EnVision Center was created to be a trusted hub where residents can access the services and support they need in one place,” said Lynelle Lewis, EnVision Center Manager. “Adding Aetna Better Health of Virginia’s Community Resource Center strengthens that mission by expanding access to health-focused resources that can help individuals better manage their health and make informed decisions about their care.”

Aetna Better Health of Virginia is a Managed Care Organization serving 242,000 Medicaid members statewide in the Commonwealth of Virginia. For more information, visit <https://www.aetnabetterhealth.com/virginia>.
