Innovation
Innovation is about doing thousands of little things, every day, to continually generate momentum toward the future. We're looking for those who are change-ready and change-driven. Who see the value of problem-solving. Who envision what's best for our members, employees, and communities — and endeavor to create the solutions. Because when you're in the business of saving lives, every detail matters.
Ideas Can Come From Anyone and Anywhere
We cultivate a culture where ideas can come from anywhere, and have a clear path to fruition. The nurse who recognizes an opportunity to make care more efficient. The procurement specialist who identifies a new pipeline. The finance leader who streamlines strategy. In an environment where innovation is the standard, it becomes something to which we can all contribute.
Innovation in Action
Technology-Enhanced Care
