NORWICH – The Chenango County Area Agency on Aging is looking for a go-ahead from county legislators to enter an agreement with Fidelis Care for a home delivered meal program the agency says may benefit the county's aging Medicaid population.

Agency Director Brian Wessels says a partnership with Fidelis – one of New York's largest managed Medicaid providers – would give the Area on Aging access to a broader range of people with nutritional needs.

If approved, the contract would allow the Agency on Aging to deliver meals to Fidelis members throughout the county without being mandated.
