In 2004, we reached our first $1 billion in annual revenue. This financial milestone is an important step in our efforts toward Reaching for the Summit. We use this metaphor to describe our dual goal of striving for excellence in offering quality healthcare to our members while building a leading multi-line managed care organization. More importantly, it also describes the dedication and passion that compel and drive our employees, whose hard work is reflected in our many accomplishments to date.
