ALBANY, N.Y., April 22, 2016 -- CDPHP has opened the doors to its newest retail local, CDPHP Customer Connect, located inside the Rudy A. Ciccotti Center in Colonie, NY. The location brings the health plan one step closer to those who matter most, our members!

"Health care is changing. CDPHP is going to be there – in your neighborhood – providing you and your family with the support you need to make the more informed decisions," said CDPHP president and CEO, Dr. John Bennett. "This announcement further cements our relationship with the Ciccotti Center, which has been a tremendous partner, sharing in our mission of improving the health and quality of care for the communities we serve," added Bennett.

Visitors at CDPHP Customer Connect at the Ciccotti Center can meet face-to-face with a CDPHP representative to ask questions about their benefits, enroll in health care coverage, order new ID cards, find a doctor, or navigate the NY State of Health website. CDPHP has two additional retail locations: CDPHP Customer Connect at the Healthy Living Center and CDPHP Customer Connect in Latham.

It is our privilege to partner with CDPHP on the opening of a Customer Connect at the Ciccotti Center. Given our mutual commitment to improving the health of our communities, we are thrilled to have a CDPHP representative on-site to answer questions, provide information, and offer support to our members," said Colonie Youth Center executive director, Nikki Caruso.

CDPHP and the Ciccotti Center will also offer the community access to a variety of health and wellness offerings, including free educational seminars, wellness classes, and much more.

CDPHP has a long-standing relationship of working with the Ciccotti Center to support the community's health and wellness needs.
