Letter to Our Shareholders, Customers and Communities
I want to acknowledge and thank Ben Lytle, Leonard Schaeffer and Tom Snead,
who have been instrumental in building our company and helping guide the new
WellPoint through its first year. Ben and Leonard have recently resigned from our
Board of Directors, and Tom from the Executive Leadership Team, but they leave a
lasting legacy, and WellPoint today reflects the vision of these outstanding leaders.
I also want to thank Elizabeth Sanders, who retired from the Board in 2005 and who
served for many years on the board of WellPoint Health Networks.
Part of our heritage is social responsibility. We take very seriously the responsibility
that comes with providing health coverage to one in every ten Americans. We recognize
our obligation to take a lead role in improving health care in this country.
We believe the future of health care belongs to the consumer. Our company has
a long history of winning new customers and keeping them. But we know that we must
do more. If we are to address the concerns of consumers today, we must truly transform
health care.
This is our vision. Our role in this vision is to lead the way to affordable quality
care and to become the most trusted choice for consumers by anticipating their needs
and creating innovative solutions. We believe that WellPoint’s future, and the future
of health care, can best be seen through the eyes of the consumer.
Larry C. Glasscock
Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer
