As we reflect on our work over the past year in
supporting and promoting the health of
residents throughout New Jersey, we also have
a significant milestone to celebrate. This year
marks the 85th Anniversary of Horizon Blue
Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey. For eight and a
half decades, our Company has been a proud
corporate citizen of this great state, providing
health coverage to generations of families
and businesses.
Our commitment to offering access to affordable, quality care has never been stronger, and we continue to seek innovative new ways to collaborate with health care leadersacross the state to improve the health care experience forNew Jersey residents.
As part of our efforts, our Corporate Social Responsibility Department is working in many communities to build a healthierNew Jersey. It does so through The Horizon Foundation for
New Jersey, Corporate Giving and Community Engagement.Framed by our Healthier Together approach, our philanthropicefforts support organizations and develop partnerships that enhance the health of New Jersey residents.
In 2016, The Foundation launched a new Kids’ Oral HealthProgram focused on improving dental health for children. Ten organizations received funding to increase access to dental visits and services for children in need while promotingawareness of oral hygiene. In addition to funding many otherbeneficial programs, The Foundation provided continued support for two other signature initiatives: Breathe Easier with
Asthma Management(BEAM), in partnershipwith the Boys & GirlsClubs in New Jersey,and Healthy U, a childhood obesityprevention program, inpartnership with theNew Jersey YMCAState Alliance.
Also in 2016, the Horizon Cares programcelebrated 10 years of supporting our employees in donatingtheir time, talent andfinancial resources.
Our more than 5,000 employees continue to play an integral role in promoting a healthier New Jersey, whether through volunteering, serving on boards for nonprofit organizations or raising funds for worthy causes.

CSR_HBCBS_Mechanical_Final.qxp_Layout 1 6/26/17 8:01 PM Page 7
KIDS’ ORAL HEALTH PROGRAM In 2016, The Foundation invested $500,000 to launch the Kids' Oral Health Program (KOHP), a two-year, pilot signature initiative to improve oral health-related awareness, education,prevention and treatment for young people up to the age of 18 years. Grants issued through the KOHP also provide support for professional development and promote best practices in the nine New Jersey counties where dental needsamong children are acute.
Oral health plays a critical role in overall health, and dental disease is the most common childhood disease in America, although largely preventable. KOHP will improve access todental visits and services – such as fluoride treatments,sealants, fillings and extractions – while enhancing awarenessof good dental hygiene, all of which are critical factors forhealthier children.
KOHP GRANTEESThe following organizations each received
a $50,000 grant from The Foundation.
Collectively, they are serving nine counties.

BREATHE EASIER WITHASTHMA MANAGEMENT
Breathe Easier with Asthma Management (BEAM) is a signature initiative of The Foundation in
collaboration with the Boys & Girls Clubs in New Jersey (BGCNJ), with training and curricula provided
by the American Lung Association in New Jersey. BEAM was created to raise awareness about asthma
and to educate children and their parents or caregivers about the disorder and how best to manage
it. Since 2014, The Foundation has invested $1.7 million in the BEAM program.
p a g e s i x
NOW IN PHASE 3, THE BEAM PROGRAM IS EDUCATING THOUSANDS OF CHILDREN, TEENS,PARENTS AND CAREGIVERS ABOUT ASTHMA AND HOW BEST TO MANAGE IT.

For the first two phases of BEAM, The Foundation awardedgrants totaling $1.1 million to BGCNJ to implement the initiative. With this funding, the program impacted over 5,000 youth, ages 5 to 18 years, at 16 Boys & Girls Clubs in 40 locations and 12 counties where childhood asthma is prevalent. Evaluations have been consistently strong,demonstrating a substantial and sustained increase of participant knowledge about asthma and its management. The program was well received, and most participants rated it as a fun experience.
Given the success of BEAM, The Foundation invested an additional $600,000 in 2016 to implement Phase 3. This will expand the program’s reach to an additional 2,800 youth at 20Boys & Girls Clubs in 57 locations and 14 counties by 2018.

HEALTHY U
Healthy U is a signature initiative of The Foundation in partnership with the New Jersey YMCA State
Alliance. Its goal is to prevent childhood obesity by encouraging physical activity and healthy eating.
Healthy U uses the nationally recognized CATCH (Coordinated Approach to Child Health) platform
as the most cost-effective means of preventing childhood obesity. It does so in an environment that’s
fun and easy to sustain, by combining physical activity, nutrition education and parental involvement.
To date, The Foundation has invested $4.7 million in the program, which is now in Phase 3.
