-: My name's Corey Coleman, Vice President
for external affairs for United Healthcare.
So, day to day that looks like managing projects
and managing operations with
large health systems.
So, one of the projects I would bring your attention to
is we have a partnership with The Salvation Army
in Western Pennsylvania.
My company has invested over $100,000
and helping to convert The Salvation Army's food pantries
from unhealthy options into healthy options.
So that's one of the initiatives
and so there is a checkpoint
and a number of metrics that have to be met every quarter
and I manage that relationship with The Salvation Army
and that conversion of their food pantry
along with educating the folks who use The Salvation Army
on how to eat healthier generally speaking
because as we all know, it's the things outside
of the healthcare setting that have more impact
on our health than anything else
so eating healthy only can improve our overall health
as a population.
Earlier this week I was able to secure
some additional funding for a school
that we have adopted in the city of Philadelphia
called C.B. Community School which has
all of its students happen to be foster kids
and as a result for folks that aren't familiar
with the foster kid and the challenges that they have,
a lot of times they fall through the cracks
of your public education setting
so there's a specialized school
that exclusively supports that population.
My company has designed a healthcare curriculum for them.
I manage that curriculum on behalf of the company
with the school.
So another responsibility is representing my organization
with the industry and on behalf of my company
so we are one member amongst many other MCOs in the state
that represent the Medicaid managed care population
and so I manage the relationship
and the position of my company
within the industry which represents all 67 counties
in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
