Honoring Brian Thompson's Legacy
UnitedHealth Group CEO Andrew Witty took to the online platform to offer words of encouragement during these difficult times. He wrote, "I know this has been an exceptionally hard week. Our company is in a state of mourning. Brian's family laid him to rest on Monday afternoon. And yesterday, colleagues gathered in Minnesota to celebrate his life. It was a life lived to the fullest, making a profound positive impact on the lives of countless people he never saw or met. Brian was one of the good guys, one of the smartest, and one of the best. I'll miss him deeply and am proud to call him my friend."Many have emphasized that knowing Brian has made us all a bit better. As we move forward, the best way to honor his life and his values is to carry on his legacy. We must continue to do right by those who trust us with their care and those depending on us to take care of their loved ones. We owe it to Brian to make health care work better for everyone in every way. The job never stops. Whether it's for the moms and dads bringing their kids to a clinic this morning, the sickest and most vulnerable among us with our nurses and caseworkers visiting their homes, ensuring medicines are filled and infusions are administered, or helping people navigate rare diseases, we are there. We'll be there for those needing screenings, scans, and surgeries. And when they come out of the hospital, we'll hold their hand as they get back on their feet. These are the daily efforts of our company, with thousands more ensuring claims are paid, calls are handled, and questions are answered with the highest quality standard. We always uphold the promise to make health care work better for everyone.
