LAMMICO President / CEO Thomas H. Grimstad, M.D. (left) introduces Dr. Robert D. Matheney at the American Heart Association Research Grant Reception on April 14, 2009. Dr. Matheney is the President of the New Orleans affiliate of the American Heart Association. The event was held at LAMMICO's corporate headquarters in Metairie and is part of a new company initiative to support various community & charitable opportunities across Louisiana and Arkansas.
A company is much more than the products and services it sells. A company builds partnerships and trust, while supporting and believing in its customers and employees.
Since 1982, LAMMICO has displayed this commitment to both its policyholders and our employees. Through our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program, we extend the same commitment to support the medical communities in both Louisiana & Arkansas. This company initiative supports the advance of health and wellness in both states; and is achieved by:
Charitable Contributions
LAMMICO encourages all employees to volunteer on behalf of the company. As a direct result, our employees are active in a variety of civic, cultural and philanthropic organizations. Inspired by their commitment, LAMMICO supports various programs located where employees live and work. LAMMICO wants to make a difference wherever we contribute. From a physician volunteering their time to an employee donating toward a worthy cause, LAMMICO increases resources to a cross-section of interests at all levels of need.
Community Development
Slightly broader in focus, the company supports a variety of causes that will ultimately benefit the community in which we operate. Our community development efforts are an extension of LAMMICO’s enduring partnerships with our company policyholders.
