Florida Blue

In the 1960s, word continued to spread about our products and services and our ability to take care of Floridians’ health care needs. As a result, our member enrollment grew to one million. In this photo taken in 1965, we celebrated our millionth member, Loy Crumbley. We’re commemorating our 80th anniversary this year. Our customers are still at the center of everything we do and helping them stay healthy has been our goal since 1944. That’s why we work to lower costs, make benefits easy to access, and provide a range of health services that include traditional medical care, preventive care, and so much more. Today, more than 5.9 million members rely on us to be there for them throughout their health and well-being journey. We’ll continue looking out for them, their families, and their communities as we have done for 80 years. #FLBlue80 #FlashbackFriday

🇺🇸 Fireworks, family, and freedom! As we continue to celebrate our 80th Anniversary, we’re taking a look back at some of the people and events that are part of our journey. In 1976, this bicentennial emblem was placed on our entrance doors in Jacksonville in celebration of 200 years of America's independence. While much has changed since then, Florida Blue’s mission to help people and communities achieve better health has not. Wishing you and yours a safe and happy 4th of July. ⭐ #FLBlue80 #IndependenceDay

Happy 4th of July! Whether you're watching fireworks, grilling with family and friends, or just enjoying a day off we wish you a safe, happy, and healthy Independence Day! #4thofJuly #IndependenceDay

Our 80th anniversary is also a tribute to long-time members, like Inge M., who have trusted us with their health and well-being for decades. She’s been with Florida Blue for 47 years! She recently shared what she loves about Florida Blue, including how a Care Team nurse supported her recent surgery recovery at no extra cost.

Congratulations to Darnell Smith on this honor. We appreciate his longtime contributions and efforts to help Floridians achieve better health.

As we celebrate our 80th Anniversary, we took a look back at some of our first offices. We experienced significant growth in the 1940s and 1950s, which required us to build a bigger home office in Jacksonville. As demand for our products and services continued to grow, we expanded to other parts of the state, including Panama City. Today, we have a 119-acre campus headquarters in Jacksonville, nine additional office locations throughout the state, and 39 Florida Blue Centers to better serve our communities. And can you guess which insurer is the only one to offer products and services in all 67 Florida counties? We are Florida, for Florida, and by Florida. Our local roots and deep footprint across the state have allowed us to be there for our neighbors—when and where they need us. #FLBlue80 #FlashbackFriday

This year, we’re celebrating 80 years of being there for Floridians throughout their health care journey. Follow along for the rest of the year as we share milestones in our history and showcase some of the things that make our culture special. It all started when our founders Drs. Ted Arnold and Leigh Robinson brought to life their innovative idea to make quality care accessible to the people of Florida. Our mission to help people and communities achieve better health has been ingrained in our company from the very beginning. We salute our visionary founders for laying the groundwork for what is now Florida’s oldest and largest not-for-profit health solutions company. We’re proud of our heritage and will continue to be there for Floridians for another 80 years and beyond. #FLBlue80 #FlashbackFriday
