Florida Blue

Our Florida Blue Medicare team lives out our values by providing exceptional service to our members every day. That's why we are so proud to share Star Ambassador award winners for the first quarter of 2024. These folks go above and beyond — whether working directly with members or behind the scenes — to take care of the people we serve. Congratulations to all of our winners!

We have long understood that all team members, including team members with disabilities, bring skills and talents to the workplace. And our policies and practices reflect that belief.

Giving and supporting our communities has long been a central part of our culture. As we celebrate our 80th anniversary, we recognize we’ve been fortunate to attract employees who care about others and the world around them. Shown here in the 1970s, our employees participated in a variety of community-related activities, including collecting donations for hurricane victims, sponsoring local youth activities, and hosting food drives to combat hunger. Last year, our employees logged more than 60,000 hours of community involvement to champion many meaningful causes. We are proud to have employees who share our values, help us make a positive impact in the areas we serve, and whose compassion and generosity demonstrate that we are more than an insurance company. #FLBlue80 #FlashbackFriday

In the 1960s, word continued to spread about our products and services and our ability to take care of Floridians’ health care needs. As a result, our member enrollment grew to one million. In this photo taken in 1965, we celebrated our millionth member, Loy Crumbley. We’re commemorating our 80th anniversary this year. Our customers are still at the center of everything we do and helping them stay healthy has been our goal since 1944. That’s why we work to lower costs, make benefits easy to access, and provide a range of health services that include traditional medical care, preventive care, and so much more. Today, more than 5.9 million members rely on us to be there for them throughout their health and well-being journey. We’ll continue looking out for them, their families, and their communities as we have done for 80 years. #FLBlue80 #FlashbackFriday

🇺🇸 Fireworks, family, and freedom! As we continue to celebrate our 80th Anniversary, we’re taking a look back at some of the people and events that are part of our journey. In 1976, this bicentennial emblem was placed on our entrance doors in Jacksonville in celebration of 200 years of America's independence. While much has changed since then, Florida Blue’s mission to help people and communities achieve better health has not. Wishing you and yours a safe and happy 4th of July. ⭐ #FLBlue80 #IndependenceDay

Happy 4th of July! Whether you're watching fireworks, grilling with family and friends, or just enjoying a day off we wish you a safe, happy, and healthy Independence Day! #4thofJuly #IndependenceDay

Our 80th anniversary is also a tribute to long-time members, like Inge M., who have trusted us with their health and well-being for decades. She’s been with Florida Blue for 47 years! She recently shared what she loves about Florida Blue, including how a Care Team nurse supported her recent surgery recovery at no extra cost.

Congratulations to Darnell Smith on this honor. We appreciate his longtime contributions and efforts to help Floridians achieve better health.

As we celebrate our 80th Anniversary, we took a look back at some of our first offices. We experienced significant growth in the 1940s and 1950s, which required us to build a bigger home office in Jacksonville. As demand for our products and services continued to grow, we expanded to other parts of the state, including Panama City. Today, we have a 119-acre campus headquarters in Jacksonville, nine additional office locations throughout the state, and 39 Florida Blue Centers to better serve our communities. And can you guess which insurer is the only one to offer products and services in all 67 Florida counties? We are Florida, for Florida, and by Florida. Our local roots and deep footprint across the state have allowed us to be there for our neighbors—when and where they need us. #FLBlue80 #FlashbackFriday
