Our approach

The commitment to our communities is essential for the health of our state. To support that commitment, our approach and strategies – embed, partner, transform – provide the foundation for that work to ensure all communities can achieve their best health. Funded primarily through proceeds from Blue Cross’ historic lawsuit against the tobacco industry, we invest in community-led solutions, advance policy to improve health outcomes, and drive health narrative change so everyone has the opportunity to achieve their healthiest life.
