On October 15, more than 300 Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts employees came together to walk 1.3 miles outside at the Blue Cross’ Hingham office to raise awareness for menopause. More than 1.3 million women experience menopause each year.
Sponsored by Beyond the Pause – Blue Cross’ employee menopause support group – the event featured music, snacks, and opportunities to connect with colleagues. The support group is led by Blue Cross’ in-house OB-GYN and nurse practitioner and encourages open dialogue on menopause while giving employees the opportunity to hear about resources available to them.
Blue Cross has taken a number of steps to support women’s health and the needs of its members and employees. Over the last year, Blue Cross:
Partnered with Maven Clinic and Visana Health to offer more women’s health options.
Rolled out a pilot program with Accompany Doula Care to help address inequities and improve maternity and birthing care across Massachusetts.
Partnered with Cleo to offer a family care platform that supports parents and caregivers across all life stages.
