Our Programs
Blue Shield of California Foundation strives to address core problems that can dramatically improve outcomes in the next several years. By blending the best in applied research with comprehensive policy development, opinion leader outreach and support for community-based services, we help make innovative solutions take root in California today.

Blue Shield of California Foundation promotes the goal of universal coverage with an emphasis on shared responsibility and cost containment. Until this goal is reached, the Foundation continues to support key safety net programs that address immediate healthcare needs.
