Our Ongoing Journey
As a leading health care organization in the United States, we have an important role in advancing health equity, addressing the systemic issues that cause health disparities and closing gaps in care for our most vulnerable populations.
To advance this effort, we are working across UnitedHealth Group, including our businesses UnitedHealthcare and Optum, to:
- Deliver personalized care based on individual needs. We work to meet the unique needs of members and patients by providing care and services tailored to each individual.
- Promote equity and diversity in the health care workforce. We celebrate our people, ideas and experiences — building a culture that embraces inclusion, diversity, innovation and growth and helping build a health workforce as diverse as the people we serve.
- Improve the health of underserved communities. We partner with communities nationwide to expand access to care and address the social determinants of health for underserved and uninsured individuals and families.
- Leverage data and emerging analytics to address disparities in care. We conduct research and analysis that incorporates data from all communities, with a special focus on people who have been underrepresented in or underserved by medical research, to better address health inequities.
