The Hartford also offers individuals and businesses a number of insurance products to protect their autos, homes, and businesses . In all areas, from underwriting to customer service to claims, The Hartford’s goal is to easily and efficiently provide customers and business partners with the highest quality and most competitive insurance products on the market. 

In the past year, many of our customers learned first-hand of our commitment to respond quickly to protect their property and other assets. When four hurricanes hit Florida and other parts of the southeastern United States in 2004, The Hartford focused extraordinary resources throughout the impacted areas to meet customer needs.

As a world-class healthcare facility, The University of Maryland Medical Center takes the health and well- being of its 5,000 employees seri- ously. So when the medical center was looking for a partner to pro- vide short- and long-term disability coverage, they wanted a company with the expertise to support their goals. They found The Hartford and have been a business partner since 2001. 

“We work very hard to iden- tify ways to help our employees return to work as quickly as possible,” says Debbie Mellott , right, Integrated Disability Manager, shown here with nurse Norma Wright . 

“I work diligently to avoid any relapse of injury, to allow for a complete recuperation. The Hartford has been a good partner for us because they assign a nurse case manager and claims manager to support our employees as they return to work. They also work with physicians to develop effective back-to-work plans,” Mellott notes. 

Allison Bunting, Senior Account Manager in The Hartford’s Washington, D.C. sales office, adds, “This type of unique part- nership is what puts The Hartford out in front with employers, as it helps them maintain a healthy, productive workforce.”
