The Hartford

The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc., a leading U.S. disability insurer, is the first and only group benefits carrier to pledge support to the U.S. Paralympics and its 500 athletes. As part of its founding partnership with U.S. Paralympics, The Hartford will sponsor a number of events called Paralympic Experiences. These are designed to educate members of the business community in what it is like to be a Paralympic athlete by competing in sports that require the participants to find new and creative ways to use or adapt their bodies to achieve the objectives of each sport. Understanding what the heart, mind and body can accomplish with access to the right resources and support is an important message that producers, employers, and employees can take away from exposure to U.S. Paralympic programs and athletes. The Hartford broke ground as the first disability carrier to develop the Ability contract, a long term disability contract designed to facilitate a quicker return to active, productive life by focusing on what a person can do instead of what he or she cannot do.
