Supporting the health of our communities

Strong roots are how neighborhoods grow healthier. We’re proud to be deeply involved.

Making it our mission to be community-driven and informed

Helping our members, and all Massachusetts residents, lead healthy lives is our corporate citizenship mission. Central to this is our commitment to health justice and our pledge to take concrete steps to make real change.

While there are no simple solutions to overcoming the barriers to health that many face, one thing is clear: no company can make a lasting, sustainable impact on its own. We must all work together.

Responding to the COVID-19 pandemic

Guided by our community partnerships, in 2021 we invested in community-based COVID-19 vaccine efforts focused on improving accessibility and overcoming vaccine hesitancy in the hardest hit communities.

Our latest Corporate Citizenship Report outlines our response efforts.

Promoting racial equity & justice

Our new Racial Equity & Justice Grants support not-for-profits organizations led by Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC), who are focused on addressing racial injustice in Massachusetts communities. In addition to providing pro bono support, six organizations were awarded with a two-year $50,000 grant for general operating support, and two organizations received a one-year $25,000 grant.
