今天宣布了一项重要的领导层过渡，斯蒂芬·J·赫姆斯利被重新任命为首席执行官，立即生效。

– Hemsley, who previously led the company as CEO from 2006 to 2017 and will remain chairman of the company’s Board of Directors, steps in as Andrew Witty has decided to step down as CEO for personal reasons. Witty will continue to support the transition by serving as a senior adviser to Hemsley.

——此前曾于2006年至2017年担任公司首席执行官，并将继续担任公司董事会主席的赫姆斯利接任，因为安德鲁·威蒂因个人原因决定辞去首席执行官一职。威蒂将继续担任赫姆斯利的高级顾问以支持过渡工作。

– The leadership change at the helm comes as UnitedHealth Group also announced the suspension of its 2025 financial outlook, citing accelerating care activity and higher-than-anticipated medical costs, particularly among new Medicare Advantage beneficiaries.

威蒂在谈到他领导这家医疗巨头的时光时打趣道：“领导联合健康集团的员工是一项巨大的荣誉，因为他们每天都在努力改善医疗系统，他们将继续激励我。”

With Hemsley’s return to the CEO role, UnitedHealth Group looks to leverage his extensive experience and deep understanding of the company.

随着赫姆斯利重返首席执行官职位，联合健康集团希望利用他丰富的经验和对公司深刻的了解。赫姆斯利于1997年加入联合健康集团担任首席运营官，1999年成为总裁，并在2017年担任董事会主席之前，担任了十多年的首席执行官。

Impact: Navigating Rising Healthcare Utilization and Costs

影响：应对不断上升的医疗资源使用和成本

A significant impact highlighted by today’s announcement is the company’s decision to suspend its 2025 financial outlook. This move reflects immediate and pressing challenges within the healthcare landscape. UnitedHealth Group cited that care activity has continued to accelerate and has also broadened to more types of benefit offerings than were observed in the first quarter..

今天发布的消息中突出显示的一个重要影响是该公司决定暂停其2025年财务展望。此举反映了医疗保健领域内即时且紧迫的挑战。联合健康集团指出，医疗服务活动持续加速，并且已经扩展到比第一季度观察到的更多种类的福利项目。

Furthermore, the medical costs of many Medicare Advantage beneficiaries new to UnitedHealthcare have remained higher than expected. These factors combined create an uncertain financial environment, prompting the company to withdraw its previous guidance for the upcoming year. This recalibration underscores the financial pressures major health insurers are facing due to increased demand for medical services and the complexities of managing costs within government-sponsored programs like Medicare Advantage..

此外，许多新加入UnitedHealthcare的Medicare Advantage受益人的医疗费用仍然高于预期。这些因素共同造就了一个不确定的财务环境，促使该公司撤回了对来年的先前指导。这种调整突显了主要健康保险公司因医疗服务需求增加以及在政府资助的项目（如Medicare Advantage）中管理成本的复杂性而面临的财务压力。
