Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Rhode Island

It’s National Family Volunteer Day! During most volunteer days, our BlueAngels work alongside their fellow associates and community partners. However, for some special projects, they get to work shoulder-to-shoulder with their loved ones, too. Thank you to all our passionate BlueAngel volunteers who roll up their sleeves to make our communities healthier—and inspire their loved ones to participate in these efforts. #LifeAtBCBSRI #BCBSRICommunity

We’re delighted to share that a video we produced with the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association and Braver has earned a Bronze Award from The Anthem Awards, a group that honors social impact stories from around the world.? ? This video is part of a series that raises awareness about the youth behavioral health crisis and the work we are doing locally to help address it. We’d like to thank the clinicians from Braver who use innovative methods to help children living with OCD and anxiety live their best, healthiest lives. And above all else, we’d like to thank the children who are courageously using their voices to share their own mental health experiences in hopes of helping others overcome theirs. ?

One perk of living in the smallest state? We’re able to fan out and connect with our members face-to-face, right in the hearts of their communities. Each day, you can find members of our excellent Consumer Engagement team stationed at spots like health fairs, workplaces, senior and community centers, and Your Blue Store, ready to help Rhode Islanders access the information they need to stay healthy and well-informed about their health plan. We’d like to thank them for making a difference in the lives of our neighbors. #LifeAtBCBSRI #BCBSRICommunity?

November is National Nonprofit Month! At #BCBSRI, we’re so lucky to have a team of associates who are dedicated to supporting our community, building belonging, and working towards better health equity outcomes. They do so by connecting with the vibrant community of local nonprofits that we have here in Rhode Island. And to those nonprofit organizations, thank you for all you do to make our state a better, brighter, and healthier place! Have a nonprofit that’s especially near and dear to your ??? Shout them out in the comments to help others learn about them.? #BCBSRICommunity?

This Veterans Day, we’d like to thank those who have served our country. Four #BCBSRI associates shared what this holiday means to them. See their stories above. ????

November is National Family Caregivers Month. At #BCBSRI, we know so many of our members and associates are taking care of loved ones and need support. To help make their lives a little easier, we created a website for caregivers with resources available through BCBSRI health plans and in the community: https://lnkd.in/e6CYSrRm ? ? And this fall, we were proud to join ARCHANGELS and The Joint Commission in their mission to recognize and support unpaid caregivers with The Care Badge—a visual mark to recognize them and their experiences that can be used on their resumes, LinkedIn, and more. This is intended to celebrate all those who know how to care in the workplace and beyond, and help them transform those skills into new opportunities. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/eqzn4sXJ ?

When more of our neighbors can access nourishing foods, we’re on our way toward a healthier tomorrow. That’s why we’re so proud to support Meals on Wheels of Rhode Island (MOWRI) as they work to connect more Rhode Islanders with culturally and medically tailored meals.?? ? Team #BCBSRI, including our senior vice president and president of MOWRI’s board of directors Christina Pitney, was happy to sponsor and attend the 2024 Festival of Meals. #MoreThanAMeal #BCBSRICommunity?

Volunteering for the Boys & Girls Club of Pawtucketis such a treat! ?? Our BlueAngels helped the Club decorate for the holiday by painting these gorgeous gourds.
