Chance to Meet Employees Working to Improve Health Care
David Cordani, president and CEO of CIGNA (NYSE: CI), invited President Obama to meet some of the dedicated employees of CIGNA who work tirelessly to provide health services that help ensure the health and well being of millions of individuals. The president will be in the Philadelphia area, where CIGNA is headquartered, on Monday, March 8 to discuss health care reform.
The invitation is a follow up to the constructive dialogue between the president, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and the CEOs of the country's largest insurers, which took place on Thursday, March 4 at the White House.
"While the president is in Philadelphia discussing health care reform, we wanted to extend to him an opportunity to meet with some of our employees and hear how they work, day in and day out to help to advance our mission of improving the health and well being of the nearly 11 million individuals we serve," said Cordani. "We urge continued discussions with all stakeholders in the system in order to produce reforms that will not only increase access, but also contain costs and improve quality of care for all Americans. Only by achieving all of these objectives can we put our country's health care system on a sustainable track."
The written invitation was delivered to the White House on Thursday, March 4.
