"Transformational change can only happen when businesses commit to working hand-in-hand with the communities they serve. Today, that means continuing to expand our physical presence in the District with partners that share our values of enhancing communities and building equity. Delivering true health equity means more than providing medical care, it means improving the social drivers of health. Conditions in the environments where people live, learn, work and play affect more than 80% of a person's health outcomes, and we see immense power in partnering with Events DC to increase support and resources for DC residents."

CareFirst has shown a deep commitment to the DC area and creating partnerships with on-the-ground organizations to get more done, better. I look forward to seeing what they do at the arena."

-Mayor Muriel Bowser, Washington, DC
