“We’re proud to be recognized for the seventh year in a row for our inclusive policies and practices related to LGBTQ+ equality,” said Sady Fischer, corporate director of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion for Excellus BCBS. “Diversity, equity and inclusion are fundamental to our mission and culture, and affirming our LGBTQ+ employees and members is part of that mission.
