CommunityCare

🌟 Employee Spotlight: Barbara Seegren 🌟

Meet Barbara Seegren, a Case Manager on our Utilization Management team! Barbara helps process authorization requests for inpatient rehabilitation and long-term acute care, ensuring members receive the right level of care when they need it most.

Barbara has been a nurse for 29 years and has spent her career serving others. After more than 20 years in long-term care, she was ready for a new challenge and joined CommunityCare three years ago. While starting something new at 48 felt a little intimidating, she’s embraced the opportunity and found it incredibly rewarding.

What Barbara enjoys most about working at CommunityCare?
👉 Helping members navigate their care journeys and ensuring they have access to the services they need.

Outside of work, Barbara’s greatest joy is her family. She has four children, two bonus sons, six grandchildren, and another grandchild on the way! Her favorite title is “BEBE”, the name her grandchildren call her. ❤️

She and her husband, Ralph, whom she calls her adventure partner, love cruising, attending country music concerts, and making memories together.

Her perfect day? Spending time on a beach surrounded by her children and grandchildren. 🌊☀️

Three words that describe Barbara: Outgoing. Loving. Positive.

Her motto is simple: “Don’t let anyone wonder if you love them. Life is short—don’t sweat the small stuff and cherish the little things.”

We’re grateful for the compassion and care Barbara brings to CommunityCare every day! 💚

🎉 Please join us in welcoming our 2026 Summer Interns to CommunityCare! ☀️

Over the next few months, our interns will gain hands-on experience, learn from teams across the organization, and discover what it takes to support the health and well-being of the communities we serve.

We’re excited to see the fresh ideas, enthusiasm, and unique perspectives they’ll bring to CommunityCare this summer. Helping students and emerging professionals grow their skills is just one of the ways we invest in the future.

Help us give our 2026 Summer Interns a warm CommunityCare welcome in the comments! 👏

June is Alzheimer's and Brain Awareness Month. It's never too late or too early to incorporate healthy habits to improve your brain health.
🧠Protect your head: always wear a helmet when riding a bike, motorcycle, or scooter.
🧠Challenge your mind: learn new things or complete puzzles daily
🧠Eat right: studies have found that poor nutrition leads to poor brain health
🧠 Manage your diabetes

If you or a loved one has concerns about Alzheimer's or other brain disorders, schedule an appointment with your doctor as soon as possible.

Taking your medication as directed is one of the most important decisions you can make. It gives you the best opportunity to manage your condition and maintain the best possible health for yourself.

Think about the goals that matter the most for you: cheering at your grandchild's basketball game, walking your daughter down the aisle, or improving your blood pressure. Whatever your "why", let it motivate you to stay on track with your medications and overall health.

Talk with your primary care provider or pharmacist about the medications you are taking, and what tips they can provide you for proper management.
