Advancing Health Equity

 

At UnitedHealthcare Community & State, we’re committed to making the health care system work better for everyone. One important way we do this is by working to address disparities that prevent people from living their healthiest lives.

We partner with local and national organizations to, design innovative programs, gather and evaluate data and invest in communities across the country with the goal of closing gaps and improving health equity.
