PacificSource Health Plans Receives Top Campaign Award from United Way of Lane County

(SPRINGFIELD, Ore.) March 23, 2018— United Way of Lane County has recognized PacificSource Health Plans with the Live United Award, the organization’s highest campaign honor. The award is presented to a company that supports a United Way partnership above and beyond a workplace campaign, and engages their employees in a greater understanding of United Way’s role in the community.

“PacificSource harnessed the energy of their United Way partnership to inspire engagement among their employees. From the United Way Board of Directors to Day of Caring volunteerism, they shared their commitment to making our community a better place for all people,” said Alma Fumiko Hesus, United Way resource development manager. “They experimented with new ideas, supported two part-time Loaned Executives, and provided regular updates to staff to keep them engaged in the campaign resulting in just under $97,000 raised in Lane County alone.”

We are honored to receive this recognition from our good friends and partners at the United Way,” said Ken Provencher, president and CEO of PacificSource. “I also want to recognize our staff who worked tirelessly to help support this partnership and all the great work United Way does in the community.”

PacificSource’s employee giving to United Way resulted in an increase of 15% over the previous year’s campaign.
