Sharecare, Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield partner for Jump Shot for Health

Sharecare and Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Georgia jointly announced today an initiative to reward State Health Benefit Plan members for engaging in healthy behaviors and support two Georgia Title 1 schools1 in the process. Open to all members and their spouses of the Be Well SHBP well-being program, which includes public school teachers, bus drivers, cafeteria workers, state agency employees, and legislators of the state of Georgia, the four-part Jump Shot for Health steps challenge officially begins on September 1, 2024, and runs through the end of the year. To participate, SHBP members simply join the Jump Shot for Health steps challenge in the Sharecare app and select a school as the “team” to which they will allocate their daily steps count. Any designated Title 1 school spanning Georgia’s Regional Education Service Agencies can apply to become a team in Jump Shot for Health by submitting an essay on school culture and photos of their current on-campus physical activity facilities by May 1, 2024. Submissions will be reviewed by a selection committee comprised of executives from Sharecare, Anthem, and the Atlanta Hawks, with the “sweet sixteen” finalist schools announced on Monday, July 1, 2024.
