Premera Blue Cross Blue Shield of 蜜桃视频 is doing more than just talking about healthcare. Through our Social Impact Program, we are awarding grants to organizations that support behavioral health solutions, particularly in underserved communities.

Last year, Premera invested over $1.5 million in grants to:

  • Covenant House 蜜桃视频: Received $1 million to provide housing and behavioral health services for homeless youth.
  • Rural 蜜桃视频 Community Action Program: Received $450,000 to fund behavioral health services for Pre-K children and their families in 蜜桃视频鈥檚 low-income rural communities.
  • Abused Women鈥檚 Aid, Anchorage Project Access, My House, and NAMI 蜜桃视频: These four nonprofit organizations received $212,000 to expand behavioral health facilities and increase access to healthcare services.

鈥淚t is difficult to access services given the weather and transportation issues in 蜜桃视频,鈥 said Paul Hollie, who leads the Premera Social Impact program. 鈥淧romoting access to necessary care is a priority for these nonprofits, as well as for Premera.鈥
