The Asian Health Coalition of Illinois (AHCI) recently announced that it will present its Corporate Leadership award to Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois (BCBSIL) for outstanding efforts to promote health and wellness and for its support of AHCI.

"AHCI's outreach programs are very closely aligned with our own goals to make a difference in the community and to help people be healthy and well," said BCBSIL President Paul Boulis.
