Denise R. Parker
Health Educator – FAMIS (Retired)

During her 14 years as a Project Connect Outreach Worker, Denise Parker changed the lives of 4,458 children, 1,358 pregnant women, and 1,175 adults in the Norfolk/Hampton Roads area by helping them enroll in Virginia’s Medicaid/FAMIS health insurance programs. Throughout her tenure, Denise embodied the Project Connect philosophy to “meet people where they are,” both physically and emotionally.
