Colorectal cancer is one of the most treatable and beatable cancers if it’s caught early, which is why screening is so important. In the 2026 Healthy Tennessee Report, we look at colorectal screening rates statewide and highlight where improvements in access or awareness could make a difference for at-risk residents.

Bringing peace of mind through better health to our customers and communities
About us
As Tennessee's largest health plan, we've been helping Tennesseans find their own unique paths to good health for more than 70 years. More than that, we're your neighbors and friends – fellow Tennesseans with deep roots of caring tradition, a focused approach to physical, financial and community good health for today, and a bright outlook for an even healthier tomorrow. Our mission is simple: peace of mind through better health. We're an independent, not-for-profit, locally governed health plan company – meaning we live and work alongside our Tennessee business customers and plan members. Our 6,000 employees across the state have built our strong reputation for integrity, excellent service and community leadership. But we are also part of the BlueCross BlueShield Association, a nationwide association of health care plans. Because of this, our plan members have access to the same quality health benefits while traveling or living out of state that they have while in Tennessee. © 2018 BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee, Inc., an Independent Licensee of the BlueCross BlueShield Association.
