Is There a Hero in Your Midst?

Tell us all about them!

You don’t have to look high in the sky to spot a hero, and while it’s unlikely they will be wearing a cape many of them will be wearing a mask. You will find these heroes in your neighborhoods, schools, local grocery stores,  on the front lines of our lives, stepping up to help serve our community every day during the COVID-19 pandemic.

At Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona, we are committed to inspiring health in all Arizonans—and need your help to celebrate the Front Line Heroes who are inspiring us in so many ways.

Nominate heroes for their inspiring contributions to our community!
