[JIMMY ASPRAS] There are a lot of
medical deserts in the country

00:00:02.920 --> 00:00:05.589
where there's just not access
to healthcare for veterans.

00:00:06.548 --> 00:00:08.133
In my work at Optum Serve,

00:00:08.217 --> 00:00:10.552
we bring mobile units
almost to their doorstep.

00:00:11.302 --> 00:00:13.972
I'm Jimmy, and I'm
a data analyst at Optum Serve.

00:00:14.097 --> 00:00:16.141
My work primarily goes towards

00:00:16.225 --> 00:00:18.519
helping disabled veterans
find healthcare.

00:00:19.186 --> 00:00:21.271
Over the past few years,

00:00:21.355 --> 00:00:24.942
we've served over 30,000 veterans
with mobile units.

00:00:28.153 --> 00:00:29.446
The mobile medical units

00:00:29.530 --> 00:00:32.115
are essentially
mobile doctor's offices.

00:00:35.244 --> 00:00:37.621
They perform a variety of services,

00:00:37.704 --> 00:00:41.959
from labs to radiology
to general medical appointments.

00:00:42.709 --> 00:00:44.920
I have a lot of different passions.

00:00:45.003 --> 00:00:47.256
I really like maps and analytics.

00:00:47.714 --> 00:00:49.507
In the case of mobile units,

00:00:49.633 --> 00:00:51.218
it's very apparent looking at a map

00:00:51.301 --> 00:00:53.095
where healthcare
needs to be provided.

00:00:53.762 --> 00:00:57.599
I have reporting to just show
where the units have been,

00:00:57.975 --> 00:01:00.185
the utilization, the number
of veterans we serve,

00:01:00.227 --> 00:01:02.104
the appointments
that we've completed,

00:01:02.271 --> 00:01:06.233
to try to help mobile teams
determine where they should go next.

00:01:06.608 --> 00:01:09.236
I can't let a goal go unfulfilled

00:01:09.319 --> 00:01:13.532
to support our veterans
and our military service members.

00:01:14.241 --> 00:01:16.368
Helping veterans
get the care they need

00:01:16.535 --> 00:01:17.494
no matter where they live,

00:01:18.161 --> 00:01:20.539
to me, that's healthy optimism.

00:01:20.956 --> 00:01:24.501
