This shift calls for a different kind of leadership: one that helps teams build new skills and move through change with confidence.

Optum Rx is introducing an industry-first model that fundamentally changes how pharmacy benefits are priced and delivered. It builds on our work to modernize pharmacy care, with transparency and a better experience at the center. For health plan sponsors, it means greater transparency, eliminating spread pricing and similar practices with a simpler, fee-based approach. For people filling prescriptions, it means clear, upfront pricing and more options before they pick up their medications. Find out more about how we’re reimagining pharmacy care. ⬇️ optum.co/6d145e

After a personal loss pushed her to focus on her own health, Tara saw how deeply connected mental and physical well‑being truly are. That insight now shapes her work at Optum, where her team is developing solutions to better connect mental and physical health care. When care is connected in one place, patients don’t have to navigate it on their own. Support feels simpler, faster and more human. Learn more about Tara’s story and how she’s helping make whole‑person care the standard approach. https://optum.co/861deb #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth

For many military families, extra support during pregnancy isn’t always nearby, especially when a spouse is deployed or loved ones live far away. That’s why we focus on being there for military members and their families in ways that go beyond medical care alone. For example, our Optum Serve team hosts an annual baby shower in partnership with Operation Shower. From essential gifts to time spent connecting with other new and expecting moms, the day creates space for joy, community and support during a meaningful moment.
