Current Opportunities at CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield

In 2021, Blue Cross Blue Shield Association (BCBSA) announced a national equity strategy to address the nation’s crisis in racial health disparities. Aligned with BCBSA’s multi-year commitment to address the racial inequities in quality of life, care access and health outcomes, CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield (CareFirst) is working throughout the Mid-Atlantic to establish meaningful collaboration with and advocate for communities that have been historically marginalized. Our goals focus on priorities around reducing racial disparities, identifying drivers of inequities and implementing data-driven strategies to advance the health of ALL of our communities.
