Cranbury, NJ, June 8, 2023 — AmeriHealth has been named a 2023 Company that Cares by the Commerce and Industry Association of New Jersey (CIANJ). The company was honored at the awards reception hosted by CIANJ in partnership with COMMERCE magazine for its work with Project Sunshine, a dedicated nonprofit that brings joy and play to pediatric patients through volunteer-led programming in various medical settings and raises awareness for the emotional needs of children facing medical challenges.

“Giving back to the community through volunteerism and donating is embedded in the culture among associates at AmeriHealth. Our associates see their involvement as an opportunity to improve the quality of life for others,” said Mike Munoz, market president for AmeriHealth. “We are proud to have fostered a strong relationship with the Project Sunshine and commend their entire team for helping to meet the emotional needs of pediatric patients and their families.”

In November 2022, AmeriHealth associates rolled up their sleeves to help the Project Sunshine team assemble, package, and deliver special activity kits for pediatric patients designed to keep them busy and engaged during their checkups and treatments.

This year’s selection of companies was decided by a panel of judges from several New Jersey organizations. The winners are featured in a special “Companies that Care” section in the June issue of COMMERCE magazine, the media arm of the CIANJ.

CIANJ is a statewide business advocacy organization, representing more than 950 corporate members from every industry sector.
