At Independence Blue Cross, we are committed to our mission of enhancing the health and well-being of the people and communities we serve.

This commitment informs our engagement in the community – whether it’s bringing the Indego bike share program to neighborhoods, helping fans get free subway rides on SEPTA when the Eagles won the Super Bowl, or our Blue Crew volunteers supporting nearly 100 organizations with thousands of service hours, including the recent Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service.

At Independence, we embrace our special role in the community and the diversity of our customers and employees. Diversity and inclusion are important values for our entire workforce, which is more than 50 percent multicultural.

Throughout 2019, we will highlight diversity in the communities we serve. We are pleased to begin with Black History Month, sharing contributions by African Americans to our local and national health care industry.

In good health,
Dan written in script
