2015 Social Responsibility Report Demonstrates BCBSTX's Commitment to Community Health

Our 2015 Social Responsibility Report, now available online, demonstrates through stories, photos and videos how our employees across five states and the company are giving back to improve the lives of people in the communities we serve.

Again this year, we’ve had an impressive impact:

  • Increased employee volunteerism by 14 percent, with nearly 1,900 employees volunteering more than 33,000 hours
  • Set a new milestone of over $101,000 in matching funds for 83 organizations
  • Over 2.2 million children reached through our Healthy Kids, Healthy Families® initiative, in the areas of nutrition, physical activity, disease prevention and management, and supporting safe environments, providing more than 13.2 million health and wellness services to children and their families since 2011

Hear from members as they share personal impressions:

  • Martha, a first-time mom who turned to the 24/7 Nurseline when she needed immediate advice on caring for her newborn
  • Maricruz, who credits an email about wellness for leading to life-saving treatment
  • Mike, facing multiple weight-related health issues, made dramatic lifestyle changes

Highlights
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. And it demonstrates how we align our community investments with our business objectives, partnering with community organizations to serve at-risk communities and address chronic health disparities.
