organization dedicated to volunteer service.
The Civic 50 highlights companies that improve the quality of
life in the communities where they do business. Honorees are public
and private companies with U.S. operations, selected based on how
they score across four categories: investment, integration,
institutionalization and impact.
“An important part of the work we do in support of our members,
patients and partners includes investing our time and resources to
improve the health of the communities where we, and the people we
are privileged to serve, live and work,” said David S. Wichmann,
chief executive officer, UnitedHealth Group. “We are honored to be
recognized by The Civic 50 once again for the meaningful
contributions of our team, who work tirelessly every day to advance
our mission to help people live healthier lives and help make the
health system work better for everyone.”
UnitedHealth Group was honored for its commitment to
community-centered programs, partnerships and initiatives in 2019,
including:
- Reducing health disparities by investing more than $6 million
in grants last year to expand access to social services and
continuing our investments in affordable housing.
- Providing actionable health insights through the America’s
Health Rankings platform.
- Supporting programs to advance a diverse health care workforce
through the launch of a partnership with the Atlanta University
Center Consortium.
“Points of Light believes that now more than ever, companies
must drive transformative social change around the world,” said
Natalye Paquin, president and chief executive officer, Points of
Light. “We thank UnitedHealth Group for its investment and look
forward to supporting the organization in innovating and expanding
this work.”
The Civic 50 sets the standard for corporate civic engagement
and acts as a benchmarking and best-practices-sharing tool for
civic-minded companies participating in The Civic 50. True Impact,
