8 WELLPOINT, INC.
OUR HEALTH CONNECTS US
The choices we make affect not only our own health,
but also the health of friends, family and coworkers.
When we decide to lose weight, quit smoking or start
exercising, studies show that it inspires others around
us to do the same. What’s good for the individual creates
a ripple effect, one that can ultimately extend through
the health care system. Through WellPoint’s range of
plans, provider networks and wellness programs, we
aim to strengthen this connection and start a health
movement that helps contain costs and improve quality
of life. After all, we’re all in this together.
HEALTH. CARE. VALUE.
IMPROVING ACCESS AT THE LOCAL LEVEL
WellPoint’s Community Resource Centers are
dedicated health-access facilities for our members,
providers and the underserved. The centers’ outreach
specialists conduct education and wellness programs
and address social service needs and other barriers to
navigating the health care system. By partnering with
community organizations, the centers give thousands
of families critical information and support to help
improve their lives. And as more of these centers go
“online,” we hope to reach even more underserved
members in our communities.
WellPoint associate Christine
Rubio-Puente is one of the

She routinely helps with specific
community needs, such as edu-
cation and wellness programs for
diabetes or asthma. Here she

health resources for her toddler.
