Our employees are celebrating the holiday season across the EmblemHealth family of companies with some special activities! We kicked off the festivities with a virtual sing-a-long led by Greg Johnson, Chief Advisor for Family Caregiving. Then, we asked employees from EmblemHealth, AdvantageCare Physicians, and ConnectiCare to share photos of their homemade holiday desserts and family traditions.

The EmblemHealth family of companies believes that diversity and inclusion are fundamental to creating a strong workplace and community. Each year, PRISM—our employee resource group for members and friends of the LGBTQ+ community—honors National Coming Out Day as part of our commitment to creating a safer world for LGBTQ+ individuals to live truthfully and openly. This year we presented our Community Service Award to SAGE. The award recognizes organizations who provide exceptional support to the LGBTQ+ community. We also heard from enterprise employees, community leaders from local health care organizations, leaders from our employee resource groups, and the New York City Gay Men's Chorus a capella group Tonewall and its Youth Pride Chorus
