BCBS Helps Ensure Fiscal Health of MCC

Blue Cross and Blue Shield, MCC's health insurance provider, gave an unexpected donation to MCC this week in the form of a $2,500 check.

The contribution was presented by Carol Jones, BCBS senior account executive, to Chancellor Mark James during the MCC officers' meeting Tuesday.

A letter from BCBS President and CEO David Gentile said the contribution signifies the insurance company's commitment to partnering with MCC to enrich and advance Greater Kansas City.

"We know state revenue shortfalls have intensified pressure on your budgets and that you are forced to make difficult decisions," Gentile said in the letter. "We hope you'll use this money to secure educational programs, sponsorships, or other appropriate purposes as you and the foundation determine."
