On behalf of the Virginia Department of Veterans Services (VDVS), former First Lady of Virginia, Dorothy McAuliffe, presented an award to Virginia Premier for “demonstrating its outstanding commitment to promoting the hiring of women veterans.” Of 301 large companies (301-1,000 employees) nominated for their participation in the Virginia Values Veterans (V3) program, Virginia Premier was recognized for hiring the most female veterans.

Virginia Premier and The Cameron Foundation have jointly announced their financial support for the creation of a school-based health center in Petersburg. The center, which is tentatively scheduled to open by August 2019, will act as a clinic within the Petersburg school system, providing medical services to students.

Bon Secours Health System, VCU Health and Virginia Premier announced today they have formed a new partnership to bring more options in 2019 to patients insured on the Affordable Care Act health insurance exchange in Central Virginia.

Thousands of new veterans enter Virginia’s workforce each year, and that number is projected to keep rising. Virginia Premier, a nonprofit managed care organization, views today’s military veterans as a vibrant resource for the civilian sector. As a result, Virginia Premier continues to be recognized by the Virginia Department of Veterans Services as a certified member of its Virginia Values Veterans (V3) Program. With Gov. Ralph S. Northam proclaiming March 18-24 as Women Veterans Week, Virginia Premier proudly recognizes the contributions of women who have served our country and encourages veterans to apply for positions.
