VIPERS LAUNCH NEW COMMUNITY OUT REACH PROGRAM 

EDINBURG, Texas (May 4, 2023) – The Rio Grande Valley Vipers announced today that the team has partnered up with Driscoll Health Plan to launch the “We’re All In” program. 

The primary goal of the new community outreach program is to encourage the community to be inclusive of those who have a disability. In order to do this, the Vipers will have Ambassadors that will be attending schools year-round to educate others on what a disability is and how people can make those who have disability’s feel included. 

“Now, more than ever, Driscoll Health Plan is helping to grow healthier South Texans by providing new, affordable, quality health insurance options for the entire family. At Driscoll, we are devoted to expert care, education, outreach and advocacy,” said Rose Santos, Driscoll Health Plan Community Outreach Manager. 

“The “We’re All In” program will provide the RGV community an opportunity to create change and inclusion from a student’s peer to peer level. By sharing a positive education on disabilities and inclusion, in the community, we can begin creating change which will welcome and embrace every person. Driscoll Health Plan continues to seek opportunities which remove barriers and allow everyone an opportunity to be healthier both physically and mentally.”

This initiative officially launched today at Pearson Elementary. The Vipers Ambassadors, along with a representative from Driscoll Health Plan and a representative from the Rio Grande Valley Down Syndrome Association, were in attendance to launch the new program. 

“We are very excited to launch this new community program alongside Driscoll Health Plan,” said Vipers Vice President Mario Rodriguez. “With our platform and Driscoll's evident commitment to the children of South Texas, we feel this is an important step to closing gaps and removing barriers so all individuals can be participants of everyday activities in their own way.”
