Vice President of External Affairs, UnitedHealthcare Community & State

My name's Corey Coleman, Vice President for external affairs for United Healthcare. So, day to day that looks like managing projects and managing operations with large health systems. So, one of the projects I would bring your attention to is we have a partnership with The Salvation Army in Western Pennsylvania. My company has invested over $100,000 and helping to convert The Salvation Army's food pantries from unhealthy options into healthy options. So that's one of the initiatives and so there is a checkpoint and a number of metrics that have to be met every quarter and I manage that relationship with The Salvation Army and that conversion of their food pantry along with educating the folks who use The Salvation Army on how to eat healthier generally speaking because as we all know, it's the things outside of the healthcare setting that have more impact on our health than anything else so eating healthy only can improve our overall health as a population. Earlier this week I was able to secure some additional funding for a school that we have adopted in the city of Philadelphia called C.B. Community School which has all of its students happen to be foster kids and as a result for folks that aren't familiar with the foster kid and the challenges that they have, a lot of times they fall through the cracks of your public education setting so there's a specialized school that exclusively supports that population. My company has designed a healthcare curriculum for them. I manage that curriculum on behalf of the company with the school. So another responsibility is representing my organization with the industry and on behalf of my company so we are one member amongst many other MCOs in the state that represent the Medicaid managed care population and so I manage the relationship and the position of my company within the industry which represents all 67 counties in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
