Our Programs

Health Care and Coverage We envision a future in which every Californian has access to affordable, high-quality health care. To achieve this vision, we're providing technical assistance to state and local policymakers to successfully implement national health reform, and supporting safety net institutions that are the essential health providers in their communities. These efforts focus on expanding coverage to millions of uninsured Californians and optimizing the ability of California’s safety net providers to serve as integral players in the broader healthcare delivery system. |
Blue Shield Against Violence The Foundation believes that ending domestic violence requires a strong, coordinated network of services, new knowledge about reaching highest-need populations, and a unified policy agenda. To this end, we’re investing in efforts that strengthen California's current safety net — and building a stronger domestic violence field to lead change for tomorrow. |

The California Healthcare-Associated Infection Prevention Initiative (CHAIPI), which will conclude its work in 2010, focuses on promoting quality and safety in care. And the Domestic Violence Workplace Training Program, operated by the Foundation until 2008, helped employers recognize and prevent domestic violence in the workplace. Read More
