2013 Honoree
UnitedHealthcare and Sue Schick, President of UnitedHealthcare Community Plan of Pennsylvania and CEO of UnitedHealthcare Employer & Individual in Pennsylvania and Delaware

 

 

The Eastern PA Chapter is pleased to announce that UnitedHealthcare and Sue Schick will be our 2013 honorees.  At the JDRF Promise Ball 2013 kickoff, Schick remarked that it was particularly important for UnitedHealthcare to be involved with JDRF in Philadelphia, as this is where Lee Ducat started the organization over 42 years ago. Schick acknowledged Ducat’s tenacity when faced with her son’s diagnosis of type 1 diabetes, and connected that determination to the enthusiasm of today’s volunteers, who remain deeply committed to curing diabetes.   Schick’s local UnitedHealthcare team has been involved with the JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes and Promise Ball for the past several years; in fact, Schick was the Corporate Chair for the Walk in 2009 and 2010.

Sue Schick is the President of UnitedHealthcare Community Plan of Pennsylvania and CEO of UnitedHealthcare Employer & Individual in Pennsylvania and Delaware.  Sue joined UnitedHealthcare seven years ago and has over 25 years of leadership experience in the health and employee benefits industry.    

Sue is a regular speaker and blogger on the topics of health care, business leadership and philanthropy.  She serves on the Governor's Advisory Council on Privatization and Innovation, is chairperson of The Pennsylvania Commission for Women and serves on the Greater Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce CEO Council for Growth and is a member of the Insurance Federation of Pennsylvania.  She is also actively involved with health related charities, including serving on the Boards of the Pennsylvania Chapter of the March of Dimes and the Philadelphia Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Because of her commitment to the community, Sue recently received two recognitions from SmartCEO Magazine in 2011 – the “Circle of Excellence Award,” which honors Philadelphia business leaders for their philanthropic efforts, and a “Brava! Business Women Achievement Award.”
