Our mission was a huge success, thanks to the collaborative efforts of our team and our member companies— Optum Immunity and Zeigler Bros., Inc.

Luis Enrique Santana of Optum Immunity shared his enthusiasm: “The success of this mission is a testament to the collaborative efforts and unwavering commitment of all involved.
