Over the past year, many businesses have successfully reset their “business as usual” operations, from standardizing virtual approaches to retooling organizational structures. One key area that has sharpened across industries is a focus on employee engagement and retention—including offering comprehensive health benefit plans.
Serving 100,000 members, Sutter Health Plus delivers value to its employer clients and members by offering affordable plans with access to a provider network focused on improving care coordination, promoting prevention, and achieving better health outcomes.
“We consider it a privilege to serve our members and we value the relationships we have built with them as well as our brokers and employers,” shared Phil Jackson, CEO of Health Plan Partnerships & Products at Sutter Health. “While 2021 was anything but a ‘normal year,’ I’m proud we remained focused on our commitment to offer Northern Californians affordable access to high-quality, integrated care and coverage.”
