November 6, 2014, New York, NY - The National Organization on Disability (NOD) salutes WellPoint, Inc., one of the nation’s leading health benefits companies, for its commitment to welcoming and supporting people with disabilities.
WellPoint is a member of NOD’s CEO Council, which gives companies an opportunity to distinguish themselves as leaders in diversity and employers of choice for people with disabilities. In addition, WellPoint has been recognized among DiversityInc’s Top 10 Companies for People with Disabilities for the past two years and, over the years, Careers & the DisABLED Magazine has selected six of WellPoint’s employees as “Employees of the Year” for their individual accomplishments and achievements.
