Healthier Communities

Cigna is committed to the health of our communities. We believe that lifestyle, family history and good medical care all contribute to good health—but so do things like social conditions, job opportunities and access to healthy food. We help build healthier communities by supporting service and involvement programs that focus on health education and career development.

Program Goals
Cigna designs our community service programs around four main goals:

• Promote wellness—enable individuals and families to take responsibility for their health. For example, we're encouraging parents to be positive role models for good oral health during National Children's Dental Health Month in February. When you visit our Children's Dental Health page on Facebook, Cigna Foundation will donate $5 to the ADA Foundation.
• Expand opportunities—make health information and services available to all
• Develop leaders—use education and life experiences to promote personal and professional growth
• Embrace communities—encourage shared approaches to issues of local and global concern

Connecting Health and Development
Community Service & Career Development—Volunteer service is an important tool for people at Cigna to develop their personal and professional skills. In 2010, we started our Community Service Program, offering members of our team up to eight paid hours per year to pursue this unique avenue to career development.

Healthy Living & Healthy Giving—Cigna is a pioneer in making the connection between healthy communities and healthy activity with employee programs. In 2010, we created a Healthy Lifestyle giving option that allows our people to direct a $100 Cigna Foundation grant to the charity of their choice when they participate in an organized activity.

Please visit Cigna in the Community for more information on our Cigna Giving approach that brings financial and human resources to our communities. Our other community programs include Cigna Foundation Grants and the charitable sponsorships and employee volunteerism coordinated by our Civic Affairs team.
