On a recent edition of Let's Talk we spoke with Kathy Klingler. Kathy is the Chief Consumer and Marketing Officier for Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts and she filled us in with all of the details regarding the "We Are Mighty, Massachusetts" initative. You can listen to that interview with Kathy below.

Furthrmore, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Blue Cross has committed over $2 million to COVID-19 community relief efforts across the Commonwealth, with grants to organizations helping people stay healthy during the pandemic and reallocation of funds to nonprofits providing frontline aid. As part of this effort, Blue Cross has launched an online giving platform that enables employees to donate directly to any Massachusetts-based not-for-profit affected by COVID-19, matched dollar-for-dollar by the company. It has also introduced virtual volunteer initiatives for employees, including remote skills-based volunteering, college mentoring, and virtual storytelling.
