As an organization dedicated to the health and well-being of our members, patients and community, we’re always working to make things better for those we care for and serve. Of course, improvement takes a lot of forms, from improving safety and quality to making care and coverage simpler and more affordable, and to helping the people in our communities live healthier, more fulfilling lives. As the challenges of the past few years have shown us, it all adds up, and it’s all important.

Across HealthPartners, we’ve felt the upheaval of the dual pandemics of COVID-19 and racial injustice in our community. We’ve balanced our instinct to care for others with the unknowns of what it will take to keep everyone safe. We’ve grieved losses, and we’ve celebrated advances, innovation and steady progress. Each day, we’ve strived to live our values of Excellence, Compassion, Partnership and Integrity.

Although the path ahead for ending the pandemic looks bright, we know there’s still much work to be done to address many of the biggest health issues in our community: complexity, access, cost and inequity.

We look forward to working with our patients, members, employers, colleagues and community to meet these challenges. And we promise to continue to bring about change for health as it could be, affordability as it must be, through relationships built on trust.

With gratitude,
Andrea
