BlueCare(R) Family Plan, a HUSKY Health Plan from Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield in Connecticut, Raises Awareness, Funds and Diapers for New Haven Diaper Bank
Date:9/6/2007

re, they were given "keys to the ballpark" to continue to stimulate public education and giving. Cutters fans donating a sleeve of diapers received a free general admission ticket that night.

The Bottom Line:

"At monthly costs of more than $100 per bottom, keeping a baby in dry, clean diapers is costly," said David R. Fusco, president of Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield in Connecticut. "For the state's poor, it can be downright impossible. Infrequent diaper changing increases the risk of many health problems and infants crying non-stop from being in soiled diapers are at greater risk for abuse," according to Fusco "For these reasons, Anthem and its employees continue to look for creative ways to work in the community to support the New Haven Diaper Bank and the state's Medicaid population."

This is not the first time the company has "stepped up to the plate" for the New Haven Diaper Bank. Last March, Anthem's BlueCare Family Plan donated more than $30,000 to the New Haven Diaper Bank, enabling the organization to buy a six-month supply of disposable diapers - approximately 250,000 to 300,000 diapers - for children from newborn through about age three. In addition, Anthem's employees also contributed a sizeable supply of disposable diapers that they collected during a December holiday drive held at the company's North Haven campus.
