Debbie Lessenberry shares how her phone pal, Melody Smith, lifted her spirits during a difficult time in our annual Impact Report. https://lnkd.in/gVkvTd55

How can we help people live healthier lives? We have to think about whole health, which is influenced by the communities where we live, work, and play. That’s why we created the Community Connected Care program to assess people’s social needs and connect them to much-needed resources.

Three years ago, the Elevance Health Foundation committed $90 million toward programs to improve maternal/child health, encourage food as medicine, reduce substance use disorder, and provide community resiliency/disaster relief. Today we are excited to share that goal has not only been met, but it has been exceeded! Since July 2021, $97.3 million has been awarded in grants, reaching 108% of the initial goal. Through these grants and associate engagement programs, the Elevance Health Foundation has helped fund more than 12,000 nonprofit partners from across the country and impacted more than 43 million people. While we're celebrating this milestone, there's still work to be done. Looking ahead, the Elevance Health Foundation will continue to advance health equity through a new five-year commitment in January 2025, coinciding with the organization's 25th anniversary. More details in the coming months! https://lnkd.in/giYajj3e
