Ohio University and Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield have announced a $400,000 investment over three years to expand an existing experiential learning program for students working with underserved populations. The funding builds on a partnership that began in 2021 and brings Anthem's total commitment to Ohio University to nearly $500,000.

The expanded program will place at least 15 students annually in apprenticeship positions at community-based organizations and specialized medical provider organizations across Southeastern Ohio and the Athens region, including Federally Qualified Health Centers. Participating students will focus on physical, emotional, and social health for adults . . .
