To the greater Hartford business community, ConnectiCare was founded in 1981 by a group of doctors looking to provide Connecticut residents with an elevated health plan experience. That desire was for all Connecticut residents. For the last forty years, our mission has remained the same; to create healthier futures for our customers and communities. When we look at our customers, we see ourselves, our neighbors, and our families. Our team reflects the people we serve. We believe having team members as diverse as our customers allows us to consider differing viewpoints and perspectives. This helps inform product development and service models. Creating an environment where everyone is comfortable being themselves, voicing their opinions, and having access to opportunities and resources is our definition of inclusion. We believe all team members should be free to present their authentic selves. Having a diverse and inclusive workforce is essential to our business. To keep us moving forward, we have implemented a Diversity and Inclusion Council. This group works to identify diversity and inclusion barriers that impact recruitment, retention, advancement, training, and critical assignments. They act as change agents for the organization and its partnerships — challenging the status quo. While we are proud of the progress we have made, we know there's more to do. Our company will continue to evolve to reflect our customers. Just as our mission, our values of caring, diversity, and partnership will remain steadfast. Sincerely, Eric Galvin President 175 Scott Swamp Road, PO Box 4050, Farmington, CT 06034-4050 | connecticare.com
