STRENGTHENING COMMUNITIES THROUGH STRONG EMPLOYERS AND LOCAL INVESTMENT Healthy communities begin with healthy workplaces, and across Virginia, Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield is helping employers, like Stafford County Public Schools, play a vital role in building both. By empowering businesses to offer affordable, innovative healthcare benefits, and by reinvesting in the communities where employees live and learn, Anthem is advancing a more connected, sustainable vision of whole health across the Commonwealth. Anthem brings a deep understanding of the public sector to this work. With approximately 87% of the municipal market across Virginia, Anthem has long-standing partnerships with cities, counties, school systems, and public agencies. That scale provides valuable insight into the unique needs and challenges faced by public-sector employers, such as budget constraints, workforce diversity, and the need to balance affordability with comprehensive benefits. In communities like Stafford County, that familiarity allows Anthem to tailor solutions that reflect the realities of local government and public service work. Local employers are navigating rising healthcare costs while striving to support employee well-being. Anthem helps meet this challenge with flexible, personalized benefit solutions that prioritize affordability, access, and whole-person health. Supported by one of the largest provider networks in Virginia and powered by advanced digital tools, Anthem helps reduce barriers to high-quality care for employees and their families. This approach is rooted in the understanding that health is influenced by more than clinical care alone. Factors such as access to food, transportation, housing stability, and financial security play a significant role in overall well-being. Anthem equips employers with benefit designs and resources that address these social drivers of health—helping employees stay healthier and remain productive. Innovation further enhances affordability and access. Tools like the SydneySM Health mobile app give employees personalized, convenient access to benefits and care information, while digital-first processes reduce administrative burdens for providers—allowing them to focus more on patient care and less on paperwork. With more than 7,000 associates across Virginia,Anthem is deeply embedded in the communities it serves with longstanding support of local schools, nonprofits, and community organizations through sponsorships, volunteerism, and grants. By aligning employer innovation with community investment, Anthem helps create healthier communities and more resilient local economies. In Virginia,Anthem’s work demonstrates that affordable healthcare, empowered employers, and thriving communities are not separate goals— they are deeply connected, and together, they shape a healthier future for the Commonwealth.
