One of the most effective ways to have an impact on health is to foster and support collaborative efforts. Blue Cross of Idaho Foundation for Health is currently participating -- through partnerships with other community organizations, physicians, and local elementary schools -- in several prevention and educational programs focused on health awareness and health status improvement.

Looking to the future, the Foundation intends to implement additional programs focused on wellness and prevention. While the programs and activities will affect different audiences whether children, adults, or people living with different health conditions, all will fit the mission of the Foundation -- a healthier Idaho.

Additionally, the Foundation will be looking to develop and to grow our relationships with other health improvement organizations that share our vision of a healthier Idaho and our goals of finding solutions to Idaho's health care needs. It's these partnerships that will define the success of the Foundation and the ways in which we will touch all Idahoans.
