Disability Pride Month is a time to celebrate the strength, resilience, and unique perspectives of people with disabilities. Visible disabilities, such as physical impairments or mobility challenges, may be more apparent to others; however, we also acknowledge the importance of understanding and supporting those with invisible disabilities, such as chronic illnesses, mental health conditions, or neurodiversity. We are proud to support all forms of disabilities, challenge misconceptions, and collaborate with our partners to build a health care system that is inclusive and accessible to all.
Can Payers and Providers Really Be Friends? (The future of enhancing our nation’s healthcare delivery model depends on it.)

Advances in technology are enabling the rapid development of solutions. More than 10% of our company, across all functions and roles, answered the call for innovation and participated in our 2024 AI Challenge! Over the course of a 4-week period, 20 teams, paired with mentors, worked to build working apps and prototypes that could play an important role in realizing our vision of creating the system of care every doctor wants for their own family. While many of the great ideas will be implemented, six stood out and were selected to participate in a pitch session. These finalists presented their projects to Mike Long, Ben Grabski, Jean-Claude Saghbini and other business leaders, clinical experts, product managers, operators, and technologists from across our organization. The energy in the room was exhilarating as team members presented demos for new and enhanced capabilities that will help us to drive better patient care at a lower cost. The 2024 Lumeris AI Challenge offered an exciting glimpse at how new technologies will accelerate success in value-based care with models being used to detect high-risk patients, detect gaps in care, provide evidence, support physicians in appropriate documentation, and more!
Our teams share a deep level of gratitude for all the health care nurses across the country who inspire with empathy, compassion, and dedication as they care for their patients. Thank you for all that you do to keep our communities healthy and safe.
