Ms. Williams is one of seven women in the new campaign, which raised awareness for her autoimmune disorder Sjogren’s syndrome, mental health, Black maternal health, and fitness and wellness, according to the Sept. 20 announcement.

“I am deeply passionate about prioritizing health and well-being, so joining the Blue Shield of California team on this campaign was an easy decision,” Ms. Williams said. “I look forward to advocating on issues that I truly believe will not only uplift women, but also shed light on matters that affect entire families and communities.”

Hear Me is a part of a larger Blue Cross and Blue Shield initiative titled “Who We Stand For Sets Us Apart.”

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
