It seeks to maximize Prudential’s impact in current markets and deliver retirement security in brand new ways, to help millions more people protect their life’s work.

“We are fortunate to have Dylan as a member of the Elizabeth Dole Foundation Board. He is a recognized leader in the financial wellness and insurance industry, championing the need to expand access to retirement security—a key concern for military and veteran caregivers, their veterans, and families as they plan for the future,” said Steve Schwab, CEO of the Elizabeth Dole Foundation. “With that focus on future planning being a key component of the Foundation’s new Strategic Plan, we look forward to leveraging his expertise to support our community. Dylan and the entire Prudential team have been incredible partners in our work, and we are deeply appreciative of their willingness to invest in our nation’s hidden heroes.”

Pat has commanded medical organizations in combat and peace ranging in complexity from: Company, Battalion, Brigade, ArmyMedical Center, and Regional Healthcare System/Defense Health Agency Market. He served as the COO of the Army’s Global Healthcare System and was the Commander/President of the Army’s Medical Department Center and School.
