These days, finding quality, affordable healthcare options is more important than ever, so here’s how individuals and families can enroll 365 days a year.

It’s no secret that, even under relatively normal circumstances, the American healthcare system can be challenging to navigate. But as businesses continue to struggle and the job market remains unpredictable, alternatives to employer-sponsored healthcare have become all the more important. Either way, an all-important step toward making sure you’re covered is understanding Open Enrollment.

NORFOLK, Va.–Unite Health Share Ministries (UHSM), a nonprofit, faith-based organization founded on Christian beliefs and values, has teamed up with AnnualOpenEnrollment.com and SureCo Health Care Agency to ensure individuals and families have the resources they need to navigate Open Enrollment, which runs from November 1, 2020 to January 31, 2021, particularly how it works and what health care options best fit each specific situation in the coming year.

NORFOLK, Va.–Unite Health Share Ministries (UHSM) – a nonprofit, faith-based organization founded on Christian beliefs and values – today announced a variety of initiatives the organization is taking to safeguard both its members and local communities during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Anthony Cummings believed that valuable lessons could be learned through soccer, which led to him joining the organization of Pure Game. With its character-education approach, Cummings feels that Pure Game can provide both mentorship and empowerment for youth.

One thing that we are always covering in prayer is the health of our family. If you are anything like us, when it comes to your family’s health, you will do whatever it takes to make sure they have the best care available. And while this can certainly be a challenge, we are excited to share our story with you today to give you hope in making the right health care choice for your family.

Maybe you’ve heard about Christian health share plans as an alternative to traditional health insurance, but you’re unsure what they’re all about. After exploring what UHSM has to offer, I’m excited to share about the benefits of medical sharing plans and how to know if one of these plans could benefit your family.

If you’re like many Americans, your employer provides you with your health insurance coverage. The 2019 Kaiser Family Foundation Employer Health Benefits Survey found that about 153 million Americans were relying on employer-sponsored health insurance.
But what happens if you lose your job? What options do you have for health insurance if your coverage came from your employer?

You might also consider signing up for a healthcare sharing ministry. But be warned that these aren’t health insurance, and such programs aren’t right for everyone.

Healthcare sharing ministries are faith-based nonprofits that pool the money of their members. They then use that money to help cover the medial expenses of these members. On the positive side, these ministries are usually less costly than private health insurance or an ACA insurance plan. That might make them an attractive option to some people who have lost their employer-provided health insurance.

UHSM (Unite Health Share Ministries) – a faith-based health care nonprofit founded on Christian beliefs and values – announced a partnership with Orange County Soccer Club (OCSC), a USL professional soccer team, to launch its latest initiative, the OCSC Community Corner. The OCSC Community Corner, supported by UHSM, is a season-long outreach program that provides nonprofit organizations tickets to every OCSC regular season home game to share with the children and families they serve.

In honor of our mission to support communities in need and to advocate for better healthcare, UHSM is proud to support Cheri Garcia, Cornbread Hustle, and all the #Hustlers out there Navigating Adversity and willing to do what it takes to transform their lives, For Goodness Sake!
