But, we also like to have fun! After all, we live and work in a state known for its joie de vivre, its great food and its friendly people. That joy for life also affects everything we do as we strive to give our members the best possible experience and the best possible outcomes. Our company was founded here in 1934 and has remained Louisiana-owned and operated. Our vision is to be the statewide leader in healthcare, improving quality, value and experience through transformation of the delivery system in partnership with providers committed to positive change, and by serving Louisianians across all major market segments by 2020. That means it’s an exciting time to be part of our family. Every day, we are seeking innovative ways (and people) to achieve our vision and stay true to our Louisiana roots. Of course, we are aware of the urgent national issues regarding healthcare affordability, the numbers of uninsured and the quality of health services rendered. Blue Cross is providing education and guidance to help shape healthcare reform legislation, but it’s also important to us to reassure our members that we are going to be here through every change, making sure they continue to have access to quality care.
