Symetra Benefits Division Partners with Paralympian and Author Chris Waddell
BELLEVUE, Wash., July 16, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Symetra Life Insurance Company today announced a new partnership with Paralympian Chris Waddell. The relationship positions the champion athlete, author and motivational speaker as a Symetra Benefits Division "brand ambassador" and a key component of a new outreach program aimed at benefits brokers and consultants. Waddell's inspirational story of resilience and drive underscores what's possible — for brokers, employers and their employees — when you have great teammates by your side. Chris is a Hall of Fame athlete, a world champion in skiing and wheelchair track, and the first "nearly unassisted" paraplegic to summit Mount Kilimanjaro. While competing in college, Chris sustained a skiing injury that left him paralyzed from the waist down. Less than a year later, he had redirected his competitive spirit to monoskiing and soon became the fastest in the world in the sport. He has earned 13 Paralympic medals in both skiing and track and field and is the most decorated male skier in Paralympic history. "Symetra Benefits is incredibly proud to partner with Chris Waddell, who embodies integrity, determination and resilience, and uniquely understands the importance of having the right team in your corner," said David Schneeweis, vice president, head of Workforce Benefits Sales. "We recognize the resilience needed to support employer groups and the challenges they and their employees face in today's workplace. And we're pleased to be able to team up with Chris out in the marketplace, learn more about those challenges, and explore how our innovative workforce benefits and stop loss solutions can help." "For me, a great teammate is somebody who has your back. Symetra gets it. In conjunction with benefits brokers, they're doing it for employers and their employees by helping make it easier for people to recover from and reclaim their lives following a devastating illness or accident. That commitment, to me, is so important," said Chris Waddell. In support of the partnership, Symetra has introduced a new web-based resource, featuring Chris and his story, and launched a three-part social media marketing campaign that will run through early August: From adversity to achievement — After a life-changing ski accident, Chris Waddell saw the possible in the impossible. See how Symetra connects to his powerful message of resilience. From obstacles to opportunities — After a life-changing skiing accident, Chris Waddell didn't let disability define him. Now he's teaming up with Symetra to inspire what's possible. Your teammate for what's possible — As the first paraplegic to summit Mt. Kilimanjaro, Chris Waddell knows the value of teamwork–now he's teaming up with Symetra to help inspire others. In addition, Chris will be joining the Symetra sales team at broker meetings and events across the country — and participating in an upcoming segment of Working Forward, Symetra's own podcast series that explores workforce innovation and trends. Symetra offers group life, disability, absence management — including paid family medical leave (PFML) — and stop loss insurance coverage. Its suite of group supplemental health products includes critical illness, accident, hospital indemnity insurance, and Symetra Health.

Symetra to buy Dearborn Group's life and disability business
Symetra Life Insurance Company has agreed to acquire the life and disability (L&D) business of Dearborn Group, a subsidiary of Health Care Service Corporation (HCSC). The acquisition will be executed through a reinsurance transaction, with financial terms remain undisclosed. Dearborn Group offers employer groups a range of ancillary benefits such as life, disability, dental, vision, supplemental health and medical coverage in the US. With this transaction, Symetra will assume responsibility for Dearborn Group's portfolio, which includes group and individual life insurance, accidental death and dismemberment, and both short-term and long-term group disability insurance. Additionally, the acquisition covers paid family leave, medical leave, and absence management services. Furthermore, Symetra has signed a product distribution agreement with HCSC. Under the terms of the agreement, once the transaction is closed, Symetra's L&D products will be distributed exclusively to HCSC's healthcare customers for a multi-year period. The completion of the transaction is projected for the latter half of 2025, pending the regulatory consents and customary closing conditions. Symetra Financial Corporation CEO and president Margaret Meister said: 'Symetra's strategic plan envisions opportunities across many parts of our business. Dearborn Group's well-regarded life and disability business complements our own, allowing us to reach a wider range of employer groups and accelerating the growth of our workforce benefits line. 'In addition, the distribution agreement with HCSC will significantly broaden the reach of our workforce benefits products.' Following the completion of the deal, Dearborn Group aims to redirect its focus towards its dental, vision, and supplemental health product lines, which have been experiencing growth. HCSC chief strategy officer and Diversified Businesses president Arun Prasad stated: 'This agreement further enhances the focus of HCSC and Dearborn Group on expanding access to health care by providing market-leading solutions critical to being the partner of choice for the health benefits and care coordination needs of individuals of all ages and all reimbursement arrangements. 'Concurrently, the transaction provides our life and disability customers with a partner that will further enhance the value of the services provided to them.'
