OUR MISSION
The mission of the Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts Foundation is to ensure equitable access to health care for all those in the Commonwealth who are economically, racially, culturally, or socially marginalized.
OUR FOCUS AREAS
Through a focus on three major aspects of access, we envision a Massachusetts in which every person has comprehensive coverage, quality, affordable and equitable health care, and optimal health.
Coverage & Care
Coverage does not always equal care. We remain committed to supporting programs that help people with low income obtain, keep and use their insurance, and to conducting research and developing strategies to increase coverage to reach those most in need.
Structural Racism & Inequities in Health
Lack of access to quality, affordable health care is created and compounded by structural racism and prevents people from achieving positive health outcomes. Our grantmaking and policy analysis agenda aim to understand and disrupt structural racism to eliminate inequities in health care access, quality, and outcomes.
Behavioral Health
Access to behavioral health is uneven and consumers often have difficulty getting the right combination of care when they need it. We explore methods for expanding access and eliminating barriers to integrating behavioral and physical health care.
