Our people

Mari Corbin received our Corporate Citizenship Award for being emblematic of our values at Blue Shield of California and making outstanding contributions to our California communities.

Every action we take at Blue Shield of California is guided by our North Star: To create a healthcare system that is worthy of our family and friends. Put into action that means we are focused on uplifting communities by offering health care in an affordable way.

At Blue Shield of California, it’s about taking care of one another, because when our employees feel safe and well, we know they can provide top-notch care to our customers and business partners.

I work for Blue Shield of California Foundation, an independent, nonprofit organization that is funded entirely by contributions from Blue Shield of California. The Company gifts between $30-$40 million annually to the Foundation for grantmaking to help us achieve our Mission

At Blue Shield, I identified an executive sponsor who was receptive to the idea of bringing the children and volunteers together during lunchtime at one of our local offices. As a result, the Beyond School Walls program was born.

At Blue Shield of California, we recognize that the health of our environment and of people are inextricably linked. Extreme heat is associated with more emergency room visits and poor air quality events can impact our respiratory, cardiovascular and mental health.

I came to Blue Shield of California at the end of 2013 to work in compensation, with the idea that I could eventually pivot to philanthropy; Blue Shield’s commitments to career mobility and to giving back to the community were a big draw for me.
