Health Education, Prevention & Wellness

Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona (BCBSAZ) is committed to providing health education, prevention, and wellness options to help you maintain and achieve a healthier lifestyle. Through a network of local providers and resources, you can work with medical professionals who will help you develop healthy behaviors and stay in charge of your health.

Some chronic diseases are among the most common and costly health problems, yet they are also some of the most preventable.

As a member of a Medicare Advantage plan, there are many preventive screenings and services at no cost so you can identify health issues early to reduce the chances of disease.

Health education classes also provide opportunities for you to learn more about wellness options through community partners that offer classes on a variety of wellness topics. Learn skills that can help you enjoy greater health and well-being, and ways to stay motivated along the way. Best of all, they’re free for BCBSAZ members. Explore currently scheduled online classes in the calendar below. You can also call the phone numbers or visit the websites listed to learn more.
