BCBSTX's 2014 Social Responsibility Report highlights our community commitment

The Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas (BCBSTX) 2014 Social Responsibility Report shows how our company as a whole, and employees across our five states, are giving their time, money and support in unprecedented ways to strengthen our communities. Available online, the report uses videos, graphics and unscripted member narratives to tell the story.

The numbers in the corporate report reveal:

• More than 86,000 employee hours spent volunteering, double last year’s total
• Over 13 million children reached to date through our Healthy Kids, Healthy Families^® initiative, in the areas of nutrition, physical activity, disease prevention and management, and supporting safe environments
• More than 8 million health care services provided, including mammograms and wellness visits, enabled by our offering of insurance through the Affordable Care Act in all our communities

Beyond the numbers, some of the most compelling stories are told by members, in their own voices, including:

• Caitlin, who after suffering a potentially fatal head injury in Malawi, was flown 1,200 miles to South Africa and successfully treated, thanks to her Blue Cross and Blue Shield coverage
• Denise, who has hypertension, diabetes and heart disease and credits her nurse case manager with saving her life
• Marcelino, who was uninsured for several years after becoming unemployed, but can now breathe easy, knowing he has Blue Cross and Blue Shield coverage through the Affordable Care Act

The report shows how we live our commitment to social responsibility. Through corporate and employee giving, diversity and inclusion, sustainability, ethics and compliance, and promoting wellness, we align our community investments with our business objectives. BCBSTX partners with local organizations to serve at-risk communities and address chronic health disparities.
