"Joan's depth of knowledge, accomplishments and leadership skills will help achieve Cigna's mission to improve people's health and productivity by engaging physicians more deeply in an individual's holistic care, expanding access to care, and ultimately, to lowering health care costs," said Alan M.

Kennedy is a founding member of the Disease Management Association of America and was recognized in 2004 and 2008 by Managed Healthcare Executive Magazine as one of the top leaders in disease management. In 2008 she was named as one of the "Top 100 under 50 Diverse Executives Leaders" by Diversity MBA Magazine, and in 2009 she was recognized in the "Top 100" list of most influential innovators in health care by Healthspottr.
