Blue Cross Blue Shield is donating $3.7 million to UF Health Jacksonville to establish a Center for Health Equity and Social Justice, the payer's philanthropic foundation said April 26.
The grant comes through the Florida Blue Foundation, which works with the state's Blue Cross Blue Shield plan, and will go to UF Health's Urban Health Alliance.
The center's goals include developing practical training curriculum, tools and approaches that focus on people and the community, according to the foundation. The center also will seek to educate communities on respecting differences and similarities.
