Like the Tin Man in “The Wizard of Oz,” our actuaries – team members whose expertise is in numbers and statistics – went on a search for their hearts. 

So, they went beyond their computer screens and visited a food bank and the Inland Empire Health Plan Community Wellness Center in Victorville. 

“It’s one thing to look at data and numbers at a very big level,” said Moses Kim, senior director of business advisory & analytics. “It’s another thing to see the faces of the people that you’re actually working for.” 

They met members looking for help and witnessed IEHP employees and community partners gladly providing it. And they helped, too. 

“They are those data people, computer science people, but they have a heart or they’re looking to grow their heart,” Kim said. “That’s part of what makes IEHP so special.”
