ARLINGTON, Va. -- (Business Wire)
Health
Net Federal Services, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Health
Net, Inc., is adding to its efforts to hire and train military
veterans by partnering with Able
Force, Inc. to help provide gainful employment to persons with
disabilities and wounded U.S. military service members.
“As part of Health Net Federal Services’ commitment to improve the
well-being of those who serve our country, we are dedicated to our
veterans and wounded warriors who are transitioning back into civilian
life,” said Thomas Carrato, president, Health Net Federal Services.
“With their intimate knowledge of the military culture, and their work
ethics of leadership, teamwork and dedication to the mission, hiring
those who have served is not only the right thing to do, it is
strategically good for business.”
“Able Force is proud to work with Health Net on this very important
project,” said Richard Salem, chairman and CEO of Able Force. “We know
firsthand that people with disabilities, including our wounded warriors,
represent a talented, skilled and greatly untapped resource that can
provide tremendous benefit to employers and our nation's economy.”
Able Force is part of the AbilityOne program, the federal initiative to
help those who are blind or have other significant disabilities find
employment. Health Net Federal Services is proud to work with Able Force
and participate in the AbilityOne program, as federal government
agencies have increasingly required such participation from potential
contractors during the government contracts bid process. Health Net
Federal Services’ partnership with Able Force aligns with its own
Veteran and Military Spouse Employment initiative, a plan to recruit,
hire, train and retain veterans and military spouses in Health Net’s
workforce.
In addition, Health Net Federal Services participates in the following
programs:
-
The 10,000 Strong veterans hiring initiative launched this year by Los
Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti;
-
Joining Forces, the White House’s comprehensive national initiative to
mobilize all sectors of society to ensure veterans, service members
and military families have the opportunities, resources and support
they have earned; and
-
Hero Health Hire, a coalition of health care companies dedicated to
offering meaningful employment opportunities to the nation’s disabled
veterans and providing the support they need to succeed.
About Health Net Federal Services
Health
Net Federal Services has a long history of providing cost-effective,
quality managed health care programs for government agencies, including
the Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs. As the managed care
support contractor for the TRICARE North Region, Health Net provides
health care services to approximately 2.8 million uniformed services
beneficiaries, active and retired, and their families. In addition,
Health Net provides high quality, cost-effective health care solutions
for veterans, as well as behavioral health services for active duty
service members, veterans and their families.
Additionally, Health Net Federal Services administers the Department of
Veterans Affairs’ Patient-Centered Community Care (PCCC) program in
three of six regions across the United States (regions 1, 2 and 4),
which includes all or portions of 37 states, the District of Columbia,
Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The PCCC program provides
eligible veterans access to health care through a comprehensive network
of community-based, non-VA medical professionals who meet VA quality
standards when VA supplements care outside its own facilities. Earlier
this year, VA extended its PCCC contract with Health Net to include
primary care services for veterans who are unable to obtain primary care
at a VA medical center in the three PCCC regions in which Health Net
operates. The expanded PCCC program now adds primary care services to
Health Net’s existing specialty care and behavioral health care
services. Visit www.hnfs.com
