School workers offered Anthem health coaches

PORTLAND – Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield and its foundation hope to transfer experience gleaned from business health plans to school districts.

The two-year project is open to teachers and other district staff who have elected to take the health insurance benefit offered by their school district.
