Social drivers of health are defined as obstacles that can lead to health disparities — unfair and avoidable differences in health status. In this op-ed for The Tennessean, Chief Data & Engagement Officer Sherri Zink defines social drivers of health — with a focus on food insecurity. She also shares how BlueCross is helping to address this challenge through our health equity report and partnerships with communities and providers. Several areas in Davidson County and Middle Tennessee are at increased risk of food insecurity. But as Sherri writes, we all have a role to play in equitable health care for all.

Our BlueBridge internship program is for college juniors and seniors – aimed at equipping them with real-world job experience here at BlueCross. These interns recently gathered for a social networking day that featured team building exercises and networking opportunities. As a remote first company, BlueCross is dedicated to creating ways our interns can collaborate and connect with each other. We look forward to more of these types of events in the future as our internship program grows. #WeAreBCBST
