Highmark Bright Blue Futures is aggressively tackling health inequities through a five-pronged community health strategy focused on: access to care; economic stability for individuals and families; social and community context; education access; and neighborhood and built environment.
Over the past three years, we’ve expanded our reach; developed targeted programs to improve health outcomes and forged partnerships that provide more people access to basic needs, reliable transportation, higher education and training, and mental and physical health care.
Our unwavering commitment to equitable health outcomes drives all our strategic planning and future initiatives.
Highmark Bright Blue Futures strives to ensure that everyone in our communities, regardless of their location, income, or other factors, has equitable access to preventative care, disease-specific support, and health literacy programs. Learn how we achieve our overall community health goals, and ultimately lead to a healthier, more equitable society.
We work to reduce hardships that keep people from achieving financial security such as food insecurity, housing instability, and unemployment. By uplifting communities to a more equitable status with their neighbors and provide them with opportunities that they may not have had otherwise.
Our programs related to physical activity and social connections encourage individuals to improve their health and quality of life through regular physical activity, and to seek out relationships that nurture their emotional, psychological, and physical wellness, and growth.
Through training and educational opportunities in healthcare and medical fields, as well as providing scholarships to higher education programs, Highmark Bright Blue Futures is dedicated to helping students gain the skills and knowledge they need to pursue and achieve their career goals.
The built environment plays a crucial role in the health and safety of communities. Beyond just providing physical spaces, the built environment can be used to create programs and resources that can help to address issues that have a direct impact on the physical, mental, and emotional health of community members.
