WASHINGTON (June 11, 2019) — Paralyzed Veterans of America announced today that OptumServe is the presenting sponsor of its 2019 PVA Gala. Formerly known as the Mission: ABLE Awards, the annual event honors those who improve the quality of life for veterans and people with disabilities.
“We are thrilled to have OptumServe as the exclusive presenting sponsor of the 2019 PVA Gala. Their commitment to achieving the very best in health care for our nation’s veterans makes OptumServe a natural partner for this event,” said David Zurfluh, National President of Paralyzed Veterans of America. “With their contributions, we can continue to ensure that all veterans — and all people with disabilities — can lead full, rewarding lives.”
OptumServe, the federal government health services business unit of UnitedHealth Group, is involved in the care of American veterans and active service members, including the Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs.
