today that Pat Murphy, staff vice president of corporate reporting
and analysis, was named to Treasury & Risk's "40 under 40" as

drivers and financial data. "I'm honored by this recognition and
believe it's important to realize that my work is part of a team
effort to provide key financial and operational information to

who joined WellPoint in 2005. "WellPoint seeks to simplify the
connection between health, care and value, and it's very rewarding
for me to play a role in making that goal a reality." Murphy joined

financial analyst and lead auditor at Eli Lilly & Company and
senior manager at PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP. Pat earned a bachelor
of science degree in business from Indiana University. "Pat's
contributions to the finance and business teams are critical to our
understanding of the key drivers in health care today," said Wayne
