BATON ROUGE, La. – Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Louisiana (Louisiana Blue) has released its annual Community Partnerships Report. Highlights share the impact of Louisiana Blue employees, the company’s foundation and hundreds of nonprofit partners working together in communities across the state.

“Our employees continuously bring our mission to life in communities across Louisiana, showing up with purpose and a true desire to make a difference,” said Michael Tipton, president of the Louisiana Blue Foundation and vice president of the company’s Community Relations Department.

“At the same time, our nonprofit partners are leading critical work to address some of our state’s biggest challenges. Their impact is both immediate and long-term, and we’re proud to be part of that work,” he added.
