Optum Serve: Building a Continuum of Care

The 2023 Veterans Day proclamation captured this sentiment, stating: “As a nation, we have many obligations, but we only have one truly sacred obligation: to prepare and equip the brave women and men we send into harm’s way and to care for them and their loved ones when they return home.”

Recent executive action prioritized Veteran and Service Member welfare, recognizing that service-related injuries can leave mental and physical barriers that make adjusting to civilian life challenging. Veterans often require specialized, culturally competent care tailored to their needs and requirements.

To meet this mission, providers and organizations involved in Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and the Department of Defense (DOD) health programs and systems must have the expertise and skills necessary to effectively serve the military community.

Optum Serve is ready to answer this call, and in fact, has been serving Veterans, Military Service Members, and their families for more than 2 decades.

As a Veteran-led organization and a top employer of Veterans, Optum Serve harnesses its extensive knowledge of the military population to aid the VA and DOD in their development of specialized care solutions for every part of the Service Member and Veteran journey.

Optum Serve is the federally focused business of UnitedHealth Group, a Fortune 4 and market-leading health organization. As such, Optum Serve has access to a vast integrated network of medical, physical, mental, behavioral and wellness providers in the country, as well as a suite of advanced data-driven analytical capabilities, robust health services and administrative offerings. Optum Serve leverages this breadth of commercial resources in pursuit of providing the best possible care to the military and Veteran communities.
