Mission & Values

At the Core of Everything We Do.

Our Mission: to Help People Live Healthier Lives.

We seek to enhance the performance of the health care system and improve the overall health and well-being of the people we serve and their communities. Health care continues to change and evolve. We see those changes firsthand in our business. A significant aspect of our ongoing success has been our ability to adapt to the changing needs of the people we serve.

We work with health care professionals and other key partners to expand access to quality health care so people get the care they need at an affordable price.

We support the physician/patient relationship and empower people with the information, guidance and tools they need to make personal health choices and decisions.

Our Values

The five values that serve as the foundation of our culture are integrity, compassion, relationships, innovation and performance. Living up to these values as individuals and as a company will ensure that we meet the expectations of our customers, consumers, physicians and other care providers and all the participants in health care for the important role we will play in the future of health care.
