Meridian Health Plan announces 500 Detroit-based job openings

Meridian Health Plan is growing.

To accommodate that growth, Meridian announced recently that 500 new job oppportunities will come available at its Detroit, Michigan, headquarters.

"We were surprised by the recent layoff announcement within the local health insurance industry, and we want impacted staff to know we have openings," Meridian Health Plan President and COO Jon Cotton said. "We even reached out directly to the HR department at HealthPlus to inform them Meridian is looking to add all types of workers. We have a home within the Meridian Family for ambitious candidates with a positive attitude and strong aptitude."

So far this year, Meridian membership has jumped 17 percent. This growth is expected to continue through the end of the year.

"As a growing health, pharmacy services and technology company operating in 15 states, we chose the City of Detroit as our headquarters because of our local ties and the hard work ethic found in the Great Lakes region," Meridian Health CEO Sean Cotton said. "We are committed to growing the health and technology industries within Michigan and the entire Midwest."
