Ready for Change

Meet Brandon

Brandon worked in the healthcare industry for many years and became burned out from doing his day-to-day operations. He came to Blue looking for something new. 

“When I was first hired, my supervisor and I discussed my career aspirations, and one of the things that I continued to stress to him was the need to learn,” Brandon said. “I had been out of school for several years, but my healthcare career had been limited to managing practices or smaller offices. I wanted to learn the industry from the bottom up.”

Keeping this in mind, Blue connected Brandon with other departments within the healthcare industry and encouraged him to learn the ins and outs of different projects. Brandon also takes advantage of several of Blue’s professional development programs. 

“In my time at Blue, I’ve learned so much. It’s never a dull experience.”

From Intern to Director

Meet Annmarie

Annmarie’s first encounter with Blue was at a career fair at IU Bloomington. She applied for a summer internship that went well and then for a second summer internship while she completed her MBA. She accepted a full-time position after graduating in 2010 and never left. 

“After spending my career here and working towards the director path for several years, it means so much to have arrived at this new part of my journey,” Annmarie says. “In some ways, nothing has changed. In other ways, I am learning every single day!”

She accepted the audit director role in 2022 and has since thrived on the welcoming embrace of other Blue directors. 

“I feel supported, and I feel welcomed,” she said. “This gives me a lot of comfort, and I’m confident my efforts leading up to this point were worth it.”
