Hawks Welcome Back Peoplecare

As the Hawks prepare for the upcoming season, the club is proud to welcome back Peoplecare as Member and Health Partner for the next two seasons.

Peoplecare have been a major corporate partner of the Hawks since 2016 and provide health insurance for the entire Hawks Team.

An important element of the partnership is the delivery of the Healthy Habits program – the Hawks flagship healthy living program designed for school aged children.  The focus of the program is to engage with children to encourage them to make healthy choices, be it with physical activity; nutrition and hydration and; reminders to limit screen time in favour of active play.  The program   includes a range of fun basketball skills and drills for children to learn and incorporate their daily physical activity and active play time.

“A focus of the Club this year is increasing our engagement with the community, and our school clinics program is an important part of this strategy,” said Hawks Co-Owner & President Dorry Kordahi.  “Having Peoplecare invest in our community activations, as well as providing care and cover for our players, is such a valued contribution to the Hawks. Showcasing them on the back of the players jerseys in Season 2020/21 is a great way for us to recognise Peoplecare as an Illawarra Proud partner.  We are thrilled to welcome Peoplecare back on board.”

Peoplecare CEO Dr Melinda Williams said “Peoplecare is proud to get behind the Hawks for another two seasons. We want to help the club build a strong team that can entertain our passionate Hawkheads and local community. I look forward to another high-octane season as we all get behind the Hawks.”

Peoplecare is a national, not for profit health fund which has been caring for its members since 1953. Growing for more than 60 years, Peoplecare now covers more than 71,000 people on more than 32,000 memberships.

A high performing, multi-award winning company with a range of health covers that have been independently rated amongst the best value in Australia, Peoplecare has also developed a reputation for the highest levels of customer satisfaction.
