This National Physicians Week, I want to take a moment to recognize and thank you for the unwavering dedication, expertise, and compassion you bring to your patients and communities every day.

As the Chief Medical Officer for Cigna Healthcare, I am honored to serve in an organization that empowers me to support physicians and advocate for the integral role they play in the lives of patients and their families. As a practicing primary care physician, I also understand the daily challenges of delivering quality care to patients within an evolving and complex healthcare landscape. At Cigna, we have made a public commitment to do better, a promise that extends beyond our customers to you, valued physicians and partners. Our goal is to enable patients to access the care they need, with optimal quality, and with simplicity throughout their journey wherever possible. We are dedicated to doing better so that you can focus on what matters most: caring for your patients.

Since joining Cigna Healthcare, I have seen firsthand the incredible impact physicians like you make every day—guiding patients through life-altering health challenges, delivering quality care, and driving meaningful change in the healthcare system at large. We reaffirm our commitment to partner with you to ensure the system works better for both you and your patients.

As we continue our important work to enhance your experience with Cigna Healthcare, this week is a time to reflect on the extraordinary impact you make—not just as physicians, but as advocates, healers, educators, innovators, and leaders in your communities. I am grateful for the opportunity to work alongside you and look forward to all we can accomplish together.

With gratitude,

Amy Flaster, MD
