When TriWest Healthcare Alliance started serving the military 13 years ago, the company knew military spouses brought something more to the job.
“There’s camaraderie between them and our customers that can’t be bought. It has to be earned,” said TriWest Healthcare Alliance President and CEO David J. McIntyre Jr.
McIntyre said military spouses provide a higher level of understanding and care in serving the military community, and they help ensure that TriWest provides the best possible service to TRICARE beneficiaries.
TriWest’s “We Care” program offers employees temporary flexible work schedules, eight hours of paid time to attend homecoming ceremonies for their spouses, a reduction of work hours without losing full-time benefits, child care assistance, and 100 phone card minutes each month to help keep in touch during deployments. McIntyre hands out those cards himself.
“I know military life, with its long separations, running a family alone, living with risks, is a way of life that takes a special, strong person. Professional sacrifices are part of it, too,” McIntyre said. “I just want each of you to know that your sacrifices are not lost on America.”
