"Health Net enthusiastically supports sport and rehabilitation programs for our country's veterans," said Steve Tough, president, Health Net Federal Services. "Our company is honored to sponsor the National Veterans Wheelchair Games for the third straight year. We are committed to supporting programs that improve the quality of life for veterans with disabilities and honor their service and sacrifice to our country."

In addition to the sponsorship, Health Net is contributing to the PVA Rehabilitation Fund to assist recently disabled veterans returning from Iraq or Afghanistan to participate in the Wheelchair Games. Two of these athletes will be sponsored directly from Health Net's contributions to the fund.

During the five-day multi-event sports and rehabilitation program, veterans compete in games such as swimming, table tennis, archery, bowling, basketball, power soccer, wheelchair slalom, and quad rugby. The National Veterans Wheelchair Games event is presented by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and Paralyzed Veterans of America (PVA) and supported by corporate, civic, and veterans service organizations (VSOs).

Health Net partners with the VA to provide high quality, cost-effective health care programs serving veterans nationwide.
