Be Part of Important Community Conversations About Health Equity

At Independence Blue Cross (IBX), we are focused on promoting whole-person health and health equity. We believe everyone should have the same chance to live a longer, healthier life. To help us achieve this goal, we are inviting you, our members, to consider joining our new Health Equity Advocacy Council.

Health Equity Advocacy Council

Our Health Equity Advocacy Council (HEAC) is a volunteer group of IBX members that meets with our Health Equity department for honest discussions about health equity and disparities. These discussions will guide IBX’s future actions and programs with the goal of positively impacting communities and improving health outcomes in our area.

In our region, as in many parts of the U.S., ZIP code is a greater determinant of your health than your genetic code. We believe that engaging with our community offers us the best opportunity to help achieve more equitable health outcomes.

IBX is committed to continually improving to better meet the needs of the diverse communities we serve. As a HEAC member, you will represent your community to help us identify and prioritize opportunities for improving health outcomes.

We hope to develop deep, ongoing community relationships, so we ask for a minimum of a one-year commitment to attend all meetings (four per year) and fully participate in the review of materials.

We hope you will agree to be our partner

If you are interested in having a voice in this important work, please consider applying today.*
