The company said Jan. 26 it is a lead investor in the first round of the Invest Appalachia Fund, which is a regional initiative aimed at increasing funding around social determinants in parts of Kentucky, North Carolina, Ohio, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia.

Specifically, the fund will support affordable housing, clean energy, community revitalization, food and agriculture. UnitedHealth Group’s investment will focus on affordable housing that provides health and social needs screenings, expanding rural care access and reducing food insecurity.

At the Becker's 5th Annual Fall Payer Issues Roundtable, taking place November 2–3 in Chicago, payer executives and healthcare leaders will come together to discuss value-based care, regulatory changes, cost management strategies and innovations shaping the future of payer-provider collaboration.
