At Medica, we are committed to earning the trust of those we serve through our unwavering commitment to high quality, affordable health care. We are a nonprofit health plan that serves communities in Minnesota, Arizona, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Wisconsin and Wyoming. As a company, we empower communities by listening to their voices, learning about community needs, and devoting time and resources to help. Medica partners with the communities it serves in many ways, including the Medica Foundation, a nonprofit, charitable grant-making foundation. The Medica Foundation largely funds community-based programs and initiatives that provide sustainable, measurable improvements in the availability, access, equity and quality of health care. In 2021, we formed a joint venture with SSM Health, and through that invested in Dean Health Plan. Medica and Dean Health Plan, both mission-driven health plans, have significant similarities in our histories, operations, cultures, and deep community commitment. Our new relationship is driven by technology, a mission driven vision, and innovation. Together we have an even greater opportunity to support the health care needs of members and patients, and to further enhance our provider relationships.

Earlier this week members of our Medica Salutes Employee Resource Group attended the most recent Honor Flight ✈️ Twin Cities ceremony--it was the chapter's 25th flight!! It was an incredibly moving experience to welcome back around 80 Veterans from WWII, the Korean War and the Vietnam War. We appreciate their service and all of their sacrifices.
Another great story on maternal and infant health highlighting our partnership with March of Dimes. We appreciate the fantastic story by FOX 9 | KMSP-TV Leah Beno Join us this Saturday at the Mall of America for their annual walk for healthy moms and babies!
Thank you, Leah Beno and Fox 9 News, for highlighting the critical issue of maternal and infant health outcomes. As we approach Mother’s Day, it is a day to celebrate how incredibly important Mothers are to all of our families. It is also a time to remember that we all benefit when pregnant women receive the optimal prenatal, delivery and postpartum care. I hope that sharing the personal story of my family's experience, along with that of Kiarra Story, highlights the need for advocacy and collaboration to decrease health disparities. I am proud to be part of Medica, with its focus on member outcomes and experience. To improve maternal and infant health, we partner with organizations like the March of Dimes to combat health disparities and promote the health of mothers and infants. https://lnkd.in/gw7dwCkU #MaternalHealth #HealthEquity

🎉 ICYMI 🎉 We appreciate the Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal (MSPBJ) for including our CEO, Lisa Erickson, in their first annual "Power Shift 25"-- a closer look at 25 new leaders in a cross-section of industries and organization sizes across the Twin Cities. Here's a little excerpt: ◼ Lisa Erickson is taking the helm at Medica at a time when the health insurer continues to grow through its offerings in the individual insurance market. ◼ Before becoming president and CEO at Medica, Erickson was an executive in several national organizations across the health care, retail and consumer-products sectors. Her experience includes leadership positions at Optum, Best Buy Co. Inc. and General Mills Inc. ◼ What are your top three tips for managing and motivating your team? Communicate often and bring people along — be genuine, honest and direct. ◼ Listen; encourage curiosity, open discussion and debate; and be willing to change course and admit when you’re wrong. ◼ Align on the most important priorities — I call them the Big Rocks — and consistently use them to make decisions.

April is National Volunteer Month and we sure tried to make a difference in the communities we serve across our 3 hubs in MN, WI and NE! This week teams from our organization volunteered at various food banks and packed up all sorts of meals for folks: 🥔 🍎 frozen 🍕, 🍘 (oyster crackers) and more! It was a great way to volunteer as part of our "Acts of Impact" program and do some team-bonding as well! Medica is dedicated to helping individuals and families have better access to nutritional food which then leads to better health outcomes! Thank you to Second Harvest Heartland and Second Harvest Foodbank of Southern Wisconsin for being such great partners! #MedicaInTheCommunity #FoodSecurity #NationalVolunteerMonth #CorporateVolunteering
