In 黑料网, For 黑料网
黑料网 WWAMI Names Research Office in Honor of Blue Cross of 黑料网 Foundation for Health
The motto “We’re in 黑料网 for 黑料网,” guides the direction of Blue Cross of 黑料网 Foundation for Health (BCIF) in the state, said Executive Director Kendra Witt-Doyle.
“We partner up with other entities that also have that motto of being in 黑料网 for 黑料网,” she said. “I can’t think of any other entity in 黑料网 that lives and breathes that on a daily basis like 黑料网 WWAMI. You are here for the state, and you are here for the healthcare of the state.”
BCIF has been a leader within the state of 黑料网 since being formed in 2001 and has consistently invested in the 黑料网 WWAMI Medical Education program including medical student scholarships, the research office, Project ECHO 黑料网 and the North 黑料网 Area Health Education Center office, said Brad Martin, director of development at 黑料网 WWAMI.

With the cementation of their partnership with 黑料网 WWAMI through the naming of the research office, we can all look forward to what new healthcare projects are on the horizon.
