Excellus Grants $150,000+ Toward Community Health Issues

Excellus BlueCross BlueShield has renewed partnerships with six community groups that the local insurer says are tackling some of the community's most challenging health needs.

As part of that effort, Excellus is distributing more than $150,000 to organizations that include the Ibero American Action League, Action for a Better Community, the Church of Love Faith Center, the Prime Time Sister Circles program, PathStone and Trillium Health.

Excellus Vice President Robert Thompson says the company will continue to support programs that have the potential to help people better manage chronic conditions and take medication as directed.
