As wraps up, we're celebrating Hispanic and Latino communities and the partnerships that help families stay healthy.

Through our work with CDC, Karna supported a folic acid awareness campaign designed to reach Hispanic and Latina women through research, targeted messaging, and outreach on platforms like Facebook, Hulu, and Spotify.

Did you know? About 1 in 5 Hispanic/Latina women of reproductive age doesn't get enough folic acid each day. A simple daily habit can make a big difference: getting 400 micrograms of folic acid before and during early pregnancy can help prevent serious brain and spine birth defects.

We're honored to help families get the information they need to make informed health decisions. Know someone planning a pregnancy? Share this with them! 👇

When leaders send clear, well-written messages, they set the tone for the entire organization. When they rely on jargon, vague language, or poorly written communications, confusion spreads just as quickly.

In our latest blog post by Karna staff @ Crystal Bruce, we explore a growing trend: the perception that grammar and writing quality matter less as people move up the corporate ladder—and why that mindset can be costly.

The article examines:
✔ The connection between leadership and communication culture
✔ The hidden costs of unclear writing
✔ Why corporate jargon undermines understanding
✔ How leaders can model better communication habits

The question isn’t whether leaders occasionally make grammar mistakes, but whether they create a culture where clear communication matters.

Through a 5-year CDC Cooperative Agreement, Karna supported CDC's efforts to raise awareness about the importance of among Hispanic and Latina women through formative research, paid media campaigns on Facebook, Hulu, and Spotify, and other outreach activities.

Last week, Karna launched its annual United Way campaign, running through August 31 and bringing together employees from Karna and our parent company, BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina, to support the causes that matter most to our communities.

Last year, our employees pledged nearly $8,000 to United Way-affiliated nonprofits spanning children's services, health and wellness, food security, housing assistance, and more, supporting organizations like St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, YMCA, and Boys & Girls Clubs of America.

We're proud to continue that investment this year. Every contribution helps strengthen communities and expand access to critical resources. Learn more about United Way's impact here:
