from Points of Light recognizing companies that improve the quality
of life in the communities where they do business. The company has

“UnitedHealth Group’s mission to help people live healthier
lives and help make the health care system work better for everyone
is brought to life every day through the dedication of our people.
Through the 1.25 million hours our employees volunteered in 2016,
they helped build healthier communities everywhere where they live
and work,” said Stephen J. Hemsley, CEO of UnitedHealth Group.
Through community-centered programs, partnerships and
initiatives, UnitedHealth Group serves people in need, helps
employees give back and, through United Health Foundation, provides
actionable data to drive important discussions with its America’s
Health Rankings, which tracks short- and long-term successes and
identifies current and emerging challenges to the nation’s
health.
UnitedHealth Group efforts include:
- Helping to drive the public health
conversation through America’s Health Rankings, the longest-running
annual assessment of America’s health on a state-by-state
basis.
- Expanding access to prenatal and
well-baby care through innovative programs to help children get the
healthier start they deserve.
- Supporting employees who give back to
their communities through the giving! program.
- Working with families and doctors in
Alachua County, Fla., to increase access to pediatric dental

“In the fifth year of honoring the most community-minded
companies in the nation, The Civic 50 highlights the commitment to
community and civic engagement of America’s leading brands,” said
Jennifer Lawson, president of networks at Points of Light. “By
elevating critical stakeholder voices from employees, customers and
communities into their mission statements, The Civic 50 companies
are putting themselves at the center of change to create more
enduring and sustainable business models.”
The Civic 50 is the only survey and ranking system that
exclusively measures corporate involvement in communities, and was
developed in partnership with a high-profile working group of
researchers and industry thought leaders. As a result of this
collaborative process, the initiative reflects leading insight and
thinking about how corporations can and should connect with
communities in a 21st century economy. The findings are determined
by an annual survey and compiled for a report to create a roadmap
for companies seeking to best use their time, talent and resources
to improve the quality of life in the communities where they do
business.
