The Florida Blue Foundation aims to move families, children, individuals, and communities from food insecurity to food security. The foundation focuses on improving the health of communities by addressing food insecurity and promoting access to affordable, healthy, and nutritional options.
The Sapphire Awards are intended to honor remarkable achievements in improving physical health, mental well-being, or access to healthcare and healthcare services. The Awards celebrate those who have demonstrated success in creating innovative health solutions that can be replicated in other communities, building effective local collaborations, leveraging local resources for substantial change, and focusing on health equity, mental well-being, or food security. Successful initiatives may include mobile clinics, community alliances, or programs improving access to food. The Awards emphasize recognizing accomplished outcomes rather than prospective goals, with a financial award totaling up to $525,000 to be distributed among awardees.
