-Pat Geraghty, Florida Blue President and CEO“More than 75 years ago, we were founded on the need for affordable health care in Florida. It was a bold idea, and it’s amazing to think about how far health care has come. Since 1944, we’ve evolved and transformed into a health solutions enterprise that puts members at the center of what we do. This requires us to do things differently than before. It calls for an innovative approach to reshape how care should be delivered and how we can accelerate needed changes. It is our responsibility to increase access to high quality, affordable, and equitable health care for everyone.”
