-: What I really love about my both career
and workin' for United Healthcare
is that I'm really able to do the work that I care about
and really help the communities that I care about.
I've come from the communities that we're doin' a lot
of great work with.
I'm able to give back.
You don't get too many roles in a Fortune 500 company
such as United Healthcare with the kind of support
and authority that I have.
I'm in a senior level, right?
So, my position is the only one
that exists in the country
and my hope is to be able to grow my role
and tell the roles throughout the country for health plans
but what's very rewarding for me is
I'm able to challenge our organization
and really get us to think strategically
about what we should be doing in the community.
I would say the biggest challenge is
trying to maximize the investments we're making
in the community,
recognizing that we are
sort of constrained by external factors
and so right now our organization
generally is facing some financial pressure
as relates to the economy and the healthcare space
and so as a result, the budget
that I traditionally would have
to make investments in the community
has been shrunken by about 50%.
So, it really constrains my ability
to really do more with the resources we have
and the targeted populations we're trying to help
as relates to really getting people
to live healthier lives.
So, it's the biggest challenge.
It's just doing more with less.
