We are proud to be the presenting sponsor of the 15K Boilermaker Road Race! As a local health plan, we’re excited to support this iconic race that means so much to Utica and the Mohawk Valley. Each year, hundreds of our employees and their families gather to participate, volunteer or cheer on the runners as they take to the streets of Utica, NY for “America’s Best 15K road race.” This year, Lori Florack, Senior Vice President of Human Resources at Excellus BCBS, will join the thousands of runners from across the world for her first Boilermaker. A veteran runner, Lori will share her training plan and some running tips she’s picked up over the years. Keep checking each week to see how Lori’s preparing for the big race. She’s even recruited other runners from Team Excellus BCBS who will be joining her on July 14 - Boilermaker Sunday! *This video does not provide, and is not intended to provide, medical advice.

Every spring for several years now, our employees volunteer at HOPE for Bereaved's Butterfly Garden of HOPE. Earlier this month, our volunteers were back at it, cleaning up the property's landscaping, weeding and mulching flower and tree beds, planting flowers, raking leaves, and doing whatever else it takes to beautify the gardens and surrounding property after a long winter's rest. Thank you to HOPE For Bereaved, Inc., and thank you to our volunteers!

We were a proud sponsor of this year’s annual Helio Health, Inc. Foundation Run for Recovery 5K and Kids Fun Run! The event, held May 18 at Green Lakes State Park, raises funds and awareness for people recovering from substance use, mental health, or housing challenges. Our own Kim Spurling ran the 5K, finishing first in her age group 🏆! Thank you to Helio Health and congrats to Kim!

Memorial Day honors America's military men and women who lost their lives in service to their country. To honor our heroes, the Veterans Network Employee Resource Group along with a local boy scout troop, placed nearly 6,000 Flags on the graves of military service members at Holy Sepulchre Cemetery. The flags will remain in the cemetery until Flag Day Friday, June 14. We would like to thank all our veterans for their service.

Riley was driving 20 miles to her infusion center every month to receive Tysabri®. Since this drug has restrictions on where it can be administered, she thought that she needed to stay at her facility. Our team was able to find a home infusion agency with a special authorization allowing administration of this medication in the member’s home, eliminating her driving time, and reducing her time off work for infusions.
