From Staff Reports
The Health Plan recently made a significant contribution to fighting domestic violence in the Ohio Valley. The company donated $25,000 to the YMCA Wheeling’s Family Violence Prevention Program.
Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the company said, there has been an increase in domestic violence in the region and throughout the country. YMCA Wheeling Executive Director Lori Jones said that emergency shelter nights have increased by 69 percent, and the organization’s Family Violence Prevention Program helped more than 11,600 women, children and men last year.
“The stress for our community members fleeing domestic violence is overwhelming,” Jones said. “The support offered by The Health Plan assists every person seeking health and safety in their lives. We can’t be more honored to be community partners with The Health Plan in our quest to end domestic violence.”
