MedExpress Announces UnitedHealth Group $500,000 Donation to Aid Rebuilding and Recovery Efforts in West Virginia Following Deadly Floods

$500,000 contribution to SBP will help launch new recovery
organization – Homes for West Virginia

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–MedExpress, part of Optum, a UnitedHealth Group company (NYSE:UNH),
announced a $500,000 contribution to SBP to help launch Homes for West
Virginia, a new organization dedicated to rebuilding homes and
communities following the deadly flooding throughout the state that
devastated communities and claimed 23 lives earlier this year.

The donation from MedExpress and UnitedHealth Group will help SBP begin
rebuild and recovery efforts in the West Virginia counties most in need
of assistance.

“MedExpress is humbled to play a part in helping West Virginians rebuild
and recover,” said MedExpress CEO Frank Alderman. “With the help of
local volunteers and community leaders like SBP, we can all help West
Virginians and their families get back on their feet and into a safe
home.”

SBP is a leading national disaster recovery nonprofit organization.
Twelve West Virginia counties were declared federal disasters following
the June flooding, and nearly 8,000 people have requested assistance
from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Homes for West
Virginia’s first initiative will be in White Sulphur Springs, which will
serve as a model for other projects throughout the state in need of
recovery services.

The donation was announced at a groundbreaking ceremony in White Sulphur
Springs. Recently renamed “Hope Village,” the Mennonite Disaster
Services will aid in the building of the village, which will feature 42
homes and a community park.
