Resp & Qualifications COMPANY SUMMARY: CareFirst, Inc., and its
affiliated companies, generally referred to as CareFirst BlueCross
BlueShield (CareFirst), is the Mid-Atlantic region's largest
private sector health insurer, serving the healthcare needs of 3.5
million members in Maryland, the District of Columbia, and portions
of northern Virginia. The Company offers a comprehensive portfolio
of products and services to individuals and groups, as well as
state and federal government sponsored plans. With a market share
almost three times that of the closest competitor, the company
commands 45 percent penetration across the region. In July 2018,
Brian D. Pieninck assumed the role of President and CEO after
serving as the company's COO of Strategic Business Units and IT
Division. Under his leadership, the organization completed an
extensive review of its operations and clinical programs, resulting
in an expansive 3-year strategy to grow and diversify the company's
core business. Along with a 5-year vision to drive the
transformation of the healthcare experience across the continuum of
its members, partners, and communities, the company has placed a
renewed and intentional focus on fostering a mission-based culture,
which drives every decision the company makes. The organization
employs over 5,600 full-time employees in Maryland, Northern
Virginia, the District of Columbia, and West Virginia. CareFirst
has earned multiple workplace awards recognizing its leadership in
diversity and inclusion, wellness engagement, and creation of a
supportive and equitable work environment for all employees. At
CareFirst, you are part of an inspired, collaborative team that is
building the healthcare experience we want for our families and our
future. Every day, we make a meaningful difference in the
communities where we live and work. We practice empathy, seek to
understand, invest in inclusion, demand equity and nurture
belonging every day for our employees and the communities we serve.
We rely on the rich diversity of our employees' experiences and
backgrounds to achieve our mission. Every year we host a Week of
Equity and Action where we deepen our investment and commitment to
diversity, equity, and inclusion. During this week thousands of
employees engage in workshops and volunteerism with the goal of
bettering themselves and our community. Women make up around 70% of
CareFirst's employee population, and over 50% identify as BIPOC
(Black, Indigenous, and people of color). We have 9 resource groups
that connect employees over shared identities (LGBTQ, veteran
status, race, etc.) and passions (climate change, healthy living,
leadership development). Employees are encouraged to give back and
volunteer in their communities with their civic engagement hours.
As a not-for-profit, CareFirst regularly ranks among the most
philanthropic organizations with $65 million invested in the
community in 2020 to improve overall health, and increase the
accessibility, affordability, safety, and quality of healthcare
throughout its market area. The company's employees consistently
add to this impact by devoting thousands of volunteer hours to
numerous community organizations and social causes. The company's
continued efforts to reinvest in community health care programs has
