From Duluth to the Twin Cities, Nebraska and Madison, WI our teams spent this week volunteering at food banks across our hubs to support the issue of food security for people in need. Thank you to Second Harvest Heartland, Second Harvest Foodbank of Southern Wisconsin, and COPE in Omaha for inviting our employees to sort and pack food up for our communities! This is all part of our Acts of Impact Volunteer program Medica--which supports our community partners through volunteer hours, monetary gifts, service projects, and donation drives for food, supplies, and more! #FoodSecurity #CorporateVolunteering #MedicaInTheCommunity

Health insurance is about the little moments, the connections and the authenticity of our teams and leadership. Joan and Josh G.'s story is why we're here.
Recently our corporate film-making team highlighted a beautiful friendship that has blossomed out of a difficult health situation. Joan has been a member of Prevea360 Health Plan for only a few months--right before her coverage began earlier this year, she learned her breast cancer had returned after more than two decades. While depressed and alone she was close to giving up the fight--then our Josh G. stepped in-- take the almost 6 minutes to watch--trust us it's worth it.
We are still 🎉 🎉 🙌 from our company-wide townhall event last week in Madison! Hundreds of employees gathered together to listen to our leaders, enjoyed home-made chili during our chili cook-off, launched our Craft Connection project which involves making various crafts and letters for seniors in member-run assisted living facilities to combat social isolation, and successfully completed a March of Dimes walk right on our Madison campus which raised money and awareness for healthy babies and maternal outcomes. This is what company culture looks like!! #DHPbyMedica #TownHall #CompanyCulture
