We’ve come a long way since the pandemic began. Today we es- pecially want to thank and honor our amazing employees. You really stepped up when our community needed you most. Your caring and dedication in a crisis has inspired all of us. And it truly embodies our mission of providing our members A Legacy of Good Health. We are grateful for all that you have done and continue to do to keep us well and safe. We also want to thank our community for your patience, support and personal sacrifices during this national crisis. These are unparalleled times.
