College of Sports Medicine to develop a national fitness index to help improve the health of communities across the country.

The WellPoint Foundation and its affiliated foundations have also provided grants to support relief efforts following devastating disasters around the world, including the earthquakes in China, the wildfires in California, the flooding in the Midwest and other disasters which affected our communities.

"Through the efforts of our foundations across the country we can help address local health concerns," said Caroline 'Caz' Matthews, president of the WellPoint Foundation.

In the end, our focus allows us to have a measurable and sustainable impact on critical health care needs in the communities we serve."
