CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield (CareFirst) adds Kelly L. Ceballos as Director of Public Relations. The announcement by CareFirst, the region’s largest not-for-profit healthcare company, is the second addition in the span of a few weeks to its Marketing & Government Affairs team.
As CareFirst’s Director of Public Relations, Ceballos will focus on communications strategies that leverage the public and media relations for the company. Before joining CareFirst, she spent nearly four years at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).

“Kelly is a seasoned public relations professional, who adds a broad range of perspectives to the communications team already in place at CareFirst,” said Mack McGee, Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer for CareFirst. “I am excited to work with Kelly as she helps CareFirst tell the important story of the work we are doing with and for our members, stakeholders, the community and as an innovative healthcare thought leader.” McGee joined the company July 13.
