Vision & Mission
A neighbor in the community; a citizen in society.
We strive for health prosperity – not just health equity – for all. We create spheres of impact – in our company, in the community, in society – by encouraging a culture of giving, engaging in our local communities and exploring innovative approaches to complex social issues.
Our Support
The COVID-19 pandemic amplified how connected we are as a global society – and the health and justice disparities that exist among us. By encouraging a culture of giving in our company, engaging with our communities and investing in innovative approaches to complex social issues, we can create new spheres of impact toward a more equitable and more prosperous world for all.
Pillars of Giving
Giving Together
We match employees’ donations to the causes they care most about.
Through our Giving Together program, we encourage a culture of giving by matching employee contributions to eligible organizations at a 1:1 rate, hosting special 2:1 match campaigns in collaboration with our employee resource groups and through our volunteer rewards program. We match employees’ donations to the causes they care most about.
Community Donations
We contribute to the local communities where we live and work.
Through our Community Donations program, we build healthy communities by addressing social determinants of health. Our areas of focus in this pillar are aligned with community needs, supported by historical funding and input from employees and community members. Our areas of focus include STEM Education, Social Services and Sustainability.
Creating Possible Fund
We seed innovative approaches to complex social issues, with an emphasis on achieving health equity through educational equity.
We promote health equity through education by focusing on systems change and community connection for underserved students in Grades 6 through 12.
