2024 Military Friendly Top 10 Employer and Top 10 Spouse Employer

UnitedHealth Group® was named a 2024 Military Friendly® Top 10 Employer by Viqtory Media, publisher of G.I. Jobs and Military Spouse. We provide access to career opportunities, programs and partnerships to help support those who serve or have served.

We understand that these individuals bring special skills that can be applied to deliver best-in-class health care services. We provide tools to help these heroes understand how their skills can be applied across our company and transition to a new career.​

In 2012, we joined the Veterans Jobs Mission, a coalition of U.S. companies sharing the goal of hiring 100,000 Veterans by 2020. By 2016, the coalition had hired 383,000+ Veterans. As a member of the coalition, we are committed to hiring thousands more.
