We have renewed our partnership with @18reasons for another three years, continuing to support low-income Black and Latinx birthing parents in the Bay Area. Their program, Nourishing Pregnancy, strengthens food security, boosts cooking confidence, and builds community support. To share a few of the outcomes from our previous partnership on their Nourishing Pregnancy program: - 91% of participants welcomed full-term, healthy-weight babies, surpassing the 87% baseline. - Food security increased by 14%, along with a 67% rise in vegetable consumption and 57% boost in cooking confidence. - The program addressed social determinants like racial disparities and food insecurity, fostering resilience. - Exceeded participation goals, reaching 560 individuals with 100% graduate satisfaction. - Provided culturally relevant support. Together, we're creating lasting change in our communities. Here's to another three years and building on what we've already established together. #MaternalHealth #CommunitySupport #AnthemCares

This October, for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, let’s focus on prioritizing health. With 1 in 8 women affected by breast cancer, regular screenings are a critical step in early detection and treatment.​ Essentials of Breast Cancer Screening:​ - Mammograms: Suggested every two years for women aged 40-74 at average risk.​ - Breast Ultrasound & MRI: Additional options for those with dense breasts or higher risk—consult with your doctor for personalized advice.​ Understand Your Risk:​ - Factors like age, genetics, reproductive history, and family health history play a role. Talk with your doctor to develop a screening plan that’s right for you.​ Proactive Health Choices:​ - Engage in regular physical activity, eat a nutritious diet, maintain a healthy weight, and limit smoking and alcohol.​ Anthem members can locate in-network screening facilities via the Sydney Health app or at anthem.com/ca.

We have committed a grant to the Los Angeles County Economic Development Corporation (@LAEDC) to enhance their Fires Recovery Grant Initiative. This funding more than doubles the available resources through the initiative, increasing the total recovery pool for impacted small businesses to $900,000. ​ With this expanded funding, LAEDC will now be able to offer an additional 100 grants to small businesses in the Palisades and Altadena communities impacted by the January 2025 wildfires. Our partnership will allow twice as many businesses access to vital relief and support during their recovery. Small businesses are the backbone of the local economy, and together our efforts ensure they have the resources they need to rebuild and thrive. Read more about our commitment at anthem.com/ca/press.
