Pride month looked a little different at Premera this year. But sparking inclusive actions and conversations during Pride month and beyond is as important as ever.
Premera's CEO Jeff Roe talks about the commitment we're making as a company to address systemic racism and its impact on health outcomes.
This week Premera announced a commitment to rural health care in Alaska. This includes investments over $5.7 million over the next three years to University of Alaska Anchorage and Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium (ANTHC), as well as to create a new rural grantmaking program, administered in partnership with Rasmuson Foundation and housed at The Alaska Community Foundation. http://glassdoor.com/slink.htm?key=vMH0V

Seattle-based Vera Whole Health expands to Spokane with Premera Blue Cross, collaborating to open two advanced primary care centers in 2020. "We are taking this bold step to build more primary care facilities in Spokane because we believe no one should have to wait months to see their care provider or feel rushed once they are in the office," said Dr. John Espinola, executive vice president of health care services for Premera. http://glassdoor.com/slink.htm?key=vMe1d
Premera will award $10.5 million in grants over the next four years to Washington State University Elson S. Floyd College of Medicine and Empire Health Foundation. http://glassdoor.com/slink.htm?key=vMep3
This year marks the fourth summer of the Premera intern program—which grew from 11 interns in 2016 to 23 participants in 2019. A Premera internship gives college students an opportunity to gain real-world experience and build a professional network, all while contributing to our company goals. Thank you, Premera Interns! “I have already learned so much in my first four weeks here, including better coding practices and I have a much clearer understanding on how systems function as a whole.” -Ali, IT Intern
Last Friday we broke ground with many of our community partners for Volunteers of America Western Washington's new Lynnwood Neighborhood Center. The center will provide a multicultural, multi-generational community gathering space for the area. Serving to improve the quality of life for the growing vulnerable population of children, youth, families and seniors.
Cocoon House CEO Joseph Alonzo raised the pride flag over the Premera Mountlake Terrace campus. We're coming together for the second year with our social impact partner Cocoon House to march on Sunday in the Seattle Pride Parade!
Premera is joining Providence St. Joseph Health and Swedish to provide funding for permanent supportive housing in Seattle. "Homelessness is a health crisis," said Premera CEO Jeff Roe. "When we’re able to get people off the street, their life expectancies increase dramatically." http://glassdoor.com/slink.htm?key=vMdst
