Fargo, N.D.  Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Dakota (BCBSND) Caring Foundation released its annual Impact Report for 2024. The report outlines key areas across the state where the Foundation made investments and partnered with community organizations and nonprofits to help improve the health and well-being of communities throughout North Dakota.

"The Caring Foundation has made meaningful strides in addressing the critical health needs of North Dakotans. Our commitment to creating healthier communities through strategic partnerships and public initiatives has truly made an impact in every corner of our state as we remain deeply dedicated to improving behavioral health, social determinants of health as well as proactively addressing preventive care to avoid illness and disease before they occur," says Amber Blomberg, BCBSND Caring Foundation executive director.

To help in these key areas, the Foundation granted $875,000 in funding to nonprofits across the state. It also continued to work with North Dakota State University Center for Social Research to monitor social drivers of health by developing an interactive dashboard on ndcompass.org and studying the health of women and mothers in North Dakota.
