SERVING OUR SANFORD COMMUNITY

BY SAMANTHA MONTGOMERY

When Susana Minier began her company, United Angels Home Care, Inc., in 2009, she had a strong desire to help the Sanford community with services such as income tax preparation, applying for food stamp assistance, and healthcare insurance.

In 2019 she noticed that her community outreach program needed to offer more help to senior citizens by assisting them in obtaining their Medicare benefits. She wanted to educate seniors and guide them through the process, which can sometimes be daunting. The help proved to be most beneficial and eventually led to aiding people who were trying to navigate the process of applying for Medicaid as well.

Our mission at United Angels Home Care, Inc. is to help alleviate the fear of facing a healthcare crisis because of an insurance situation.”

— Susana Minier

Her outreach efforts expanded beyond the Sanford community and into Seminole, Orange, Brevard, and Osceola Counties. Once again, things expanded even further and now she is providing Medicare and Medicaid services for all of Florida, Texas, North Carolina, and Arizona.

United Angels Home Care and IMA Medical Partner Group provide a monthly food pantry donation within the Sanford community.

Susana said, “Our mission at United Angels Home Care, Inc. is to help alleviate the fear of facing a healthcare crisis because of an insurance situation. We also want to provide personalized advice until clients obtain the necessary services that will give them the protection they need today and always.”

Recently United Angels Home Care has partnered with IMA Medical Partner Group, which strives to provide the highestquality, patient-centered, cost-effective healthcare to the patients they serve. Susana said, “IMA wishes to be the number one choice for primary care for the communities they serve.”

One of the ways these two companies work in tandem is by providing a food pantry donation once a month for approximately 70 families within the Sanford community. Of this labor of love, Susana said, “It has been satisfying to be able to help so many families for over ten years. During this past decade, we have received the gratitude of so many people who continue to come back year after year to renew their contracts, assist with food donations, and navigate the healthcare system.” n
