The Eden Prairie office of CIGNA
will recruit approximately 180 new employees over the next few months,
boosting the company’s local workforce by more than 20 percent.
The company is seeking nurses, behavioral clinicians, health educators,
personal advocates and wellness coaches to support rapid growth in the
company’s Integrated
Personal Health Team and its new Chronic Condition Support program.
“Our clients see great value in our personalized approach to health
improvement,” said Jodi Prohofsky, senior vice president of health
solutions operations for CIGNA. “To meet the strong demand for our new
programs, we need to ramp up hiring. We’re fortunate that there’s so
much talent to draw from in the Twin Cities area.”
CIGNA (NYSE:CI) bases its behavioral health business and its employee
assistance, disease management, health coaching and wellness programs in
Eden Prairie, where it now employs approximately 750 people.
Introduced earlier this year, the Integrated Personal Health Team is a
“one stop shopping” experience that combines behavioral health care,
lifestyle management programs, case management, disease management,
health coaching and employee assistance programs under one roof with a
single point of contact for individuals. The Chronic Condition Support
program draws on CIGNA's clinical expertise and unique coaching
methodology to help people with chronic health conditions manage them
better.
