WellPoint Inc. (NYSE: WLP) has joined Hero Health Hire, a coalition of companies and other entities in the health care industry united in the goal to employ wounded warriors and veterans.

Launched in 2011, Hero Health Hire includes companies, associations and hospitals from across the spectrum of health care that collectively employ hundreds of thousands of employees. Each has committed to working to help veterans find and retain jobs in health care.

Each month, tens of thousands of "Wounded Warriors"–men and women in the military who have been injured or become ill during service–transition out of the military, only to struggle in the civilian workforce. For many, they may be interviewing for a job or writing a resume for the first time, unsure of how military skills and experiences might translate or what accommodations may be needed for transition to a civilian workplace.
