As part of the sponsorship, Cigna will set up its Health
Improvement Tour at select games. The Health Improvement tour is a
mobile health clinic that brings free health screenings and health
coaching to communities across the country.
“We’ve called Greater Hartford home for more than a century, so
we’re proud to support our home town team – and we’re thrilled to
bring an opportunity for health improvement to Hartford Yard Goats
fans,” said Mark Butler, Cigna's president for the New England
market.
The screenings help people “know their numbers” for blood
pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol and body mass index (BMI) so
they can take control of their health and live healthier lives.
“We want fans to enjoy great Yard Goats baseball, but we also
want them to enjoy good health,” said Stephen Cassell, vice
president for Branding at Cigna. “Knowing your numbers is one of
the best things you can do to get on the path to better health.
It’s quick, it’s easy, and at the Health Improvement Tour it’s
free!”
The Health Improvement Tour made stops in Hartford earlier this
summer at the main Hartford Public Library and two library branches
in the city’s North End. More than 150 people were screened.
“It’s really terrific to see leading businesses like Cigna step
up to support minor league baseball in Hartford,” said Mike
Abramson, assistant general manager for the Hartford Yard Goats.
“It’s all about bringing people in the region together for a shared
community experience, and we’re delighted to have Cigna be a part
of that.”
