#BlueShieldCACares! When the #AltadenaFire destroyed her home, Blue Shield of California Promise Health Plan member Portia Mason faced a life-changing loss. Blind and living alone, she reached out for help and found it through our TotalDual Plan (which serves #Medicare and Medi-Cal members) and Blue Shield Promise’s Community Support Program. Portia received hands-on support with housing, FEMA services, daily meals and more.

Blue Shield of California Promise Health Plan is committed to supporting the health and wellbeing of the Los Angeles community and that’s why we proudly helped sponsor the LA Trust Tooth Fairy Oral Health Initiative. The event, which drew more than 4,000 attendees, was hosted by The Los Angeles Trust for Children's Health and the Los Angeles Unified School District at the "Move It" Health and Wellness Festival hosted at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum and spotlights the importance of children's oral health. Visitors received free oral #health screenings, and resources about low-cost #dental services while Blue Shield Promise distributed hygiene kits with toothpaste and toothbrushes, and shared information about the free resources available at more than a dozen Community Resource Centers, located throughout #LosAngelesCounty, that are jointly operated by Blue Shield Promise and L.A. Care Health Plan. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gq9NZtHP #BSCPromise #community #ProudToBeBlueCA #BlueShieldCACares

Just ahead of #MothersDay our Community Resource Center (CRC) in #Palmdale, jointly operated by Blue Shield of California Promise Health Plan and L.A. Care Health Plan, hosted a Mother’s Day Celebration to pamper local moms with the opportunity to get their hair done at no cost by Sazzy Hair Studio and bring home bags filled with self-care items. Events like these hosted at our CRCs are essential to our mission of positively impacting the #health and well-being of our neighbors and the members we serve. We were beyond excited to offer these wonderful moms a well-deserved afternoon filled with rest, self-care, and recognition. https://lnkd.in/gp_itQY6 #BSCPromise #community #ProudToBeBlueCA #BlueShieldCACares #mothersday

It is so important for us to show up every day for our members in the community. At a recent baby shower at Blue Shield of California Promise Health Plan and L.A. Care Health Plan's East Los Angeles Community Resource Center, 25 pregnant and new moms from the community played games, enjoyed healthy food, and were showered with essential baby supplies. We’re genuinely excited to host these events as they allow us to celebrate and support expectant moms, ensuring they have the information, resources, and community backing they need during this important time in their lives. These Community Baby Showers represent much more than just gifts and games. Our centers provide crucial services to help bring health and wellbeing services directly to the communities where our members live and work – increasing access to health-related resources and services, fostering community connections, addressing social needs, and improving health incomes for our members and the Los Angeles County.

To fully support our Medi-Cal members it’s so important that we work with organizations in the communities where our members live. One example of this is the work we do with La Maestra Community Health Centers in San Diego. We greatly value their visionary, holistic and culturally competent approach to community health through an integrated delivery model and see the difference they make for our members in San Diego. Our work together has spanned many decades and because of that, we are thrilled to have received the Legacy Partnership award from La Maestra. Thank you to Zara Marselian, PhD, FACHE and everyone at La Maestra for this recognition. We could not fulfill our mission without you and see the contributions you make to our members. Thank you!

Striving for balance when it comes to health and wellness is something we all try to do, even if we know it’s not always achievable. There’s almost no way to perfectly balance exercise, sleep, and healthy eating habits—especially while juggling busy schedules and managing the stress. But we can certainly try - and that’s what matters. I recently shared what I’ve learned has worked for me in my daily life (which includes spending time with my dog, Dean!) with Newsweek's Access Health reporter Alexis Kayser. There’s always something we can do to work towards balance, while giving ourselves grace. I’d love to hear what you’ve found works for you, too.
