We’re nurturing healthier communities from within, championing the right to access affordable and high-quality care and improving health equity for all we serve.

At CareFirst, we go beyond traditional healthcare to advance positive health outcomes and provide an experience that meets the evolving needs of the people and communities we serve. Driven by this mission, we create and support initiatives and innovations that tackle the root causes of health disparities and poor health outcomes.

For the past six months, CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield’s facility at The Village at Mondawmin has served as a cornerstone of its commitment to health equity and economic development in West Baltimore.

The 20,000-square-foot space operates as a community hub, offering health education, fitness classes, and in-person assistance with insurance services, while also hosting a workforce development program launched in partnership with Coppin State University and the Center for Urban Families. This initiative provides residents with training for careers in healthcare and includes supportive services like transportation and childcare to address barriers to employment. As part of a larger revitalization effort, the facility contributes to a broader network of resources aimed at improving quality of life and expanding opportunity in the community.
