Make a real difference

We’re committed to providing the best healthcare services around, and our employees make it possible. We look for talented, dedicated people and foster a culture that promotes personal and professional growth. You’ll thrive in an energetic environment where collaboration and innovation are key. Our mission is to improve the quality of life for Arizonans, and we want you to be part of it.

Inspire Health

We’re proud leaders in the Arizona community, and we understand how vital it is for us to promote good health in our home state. We’re helping members get the care they need and creating programs to help all Arizonans live healthier lives. We believe it’s our responsibility to inspire and enable healthy living, so we look for people with the drive to make a positive impact.

Diversity and Inclusion

Within BCBSAZ and HCA, it is essential that we create a culture of inclusion and opportunity as well as actively guard against bias of any kind. Discrimination and racism are real. Our aim is to empower every member of our team to engage in our mission of improving health for Arizonans. We believe that the power and perspective of diversity and inclusion is in fact, essential to our success in serving clients, achieving our mission and creating a healthy environment for all.

We value our veterans

We actively recruit veterans through partnering with the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs, the Military and Veteran Success Center of East Phoenix, and the Phoenix VA Health Care System. Twice a year, we host a table at RecruitMilitary hiring events in Phoenix, where we fill many roles with highly trained veterans. We’re always looking for solution-oriented people with drive and passion to join our team.

Our community impact

We love where we live, and are committed to making our community stronger. We proudly support hundreds of charities through donations, volunteering, and even paid employee volunteer opportunities.

Watch our care in action

Opioids claim the lives of Arizonans every day. In 2018, we launched the Mobilize AZ program to fight back. The program has invested millions of dollars in programs that address substance misuse, including prevention, treatment, and recovery resources across the state. We’ve since expanded the program to address mental health conditions and diabetes—two additional critical health issues affecting Arizonans.

It feels good to give back and help our neighbors live healthier lives. Our Blue Gives Back program encourages employees to volunteer by providing them with eight paid volunteer hours per year. We’re honored to support non-profit organizations such as Mary’s Food Bank, United Way, and Special Olympics.

“The most meaningful part of my job is helping members resolve any issues they may have. It can be something as simple as helping a member make a premium payment after they have tried several times to do it on their own. I’ve had members tell me I’ve made their day, and that means a lot to me!”
