In addition to her professional accomplishments, Sara recently earned both her associate and bachelor’s degrees in healthcare and will begin her master’s program soon. This commitment to continuous learning reflects her drive to grow and her passion for doing things with excellence.

Sara is also a respected voice in the industry. She has spoken on panels at major conferences and is especially passionate about sharing her experience with complex claims and safety program implementation. Her focus is always on making a meaningful difference in the lives of employees and the clients they serve.

Sara Platt represents the heart of what this award stands for. Her work is a powerful example of what happens when you lead with intention, care deeply about others, and stay committed to doing what’s right.
