American Health Network was formed in 1994 as part of an effort to diversify by Anthem. In 1998 Anthem and AHN parted ways but the physicians of AHN wanted to keep the group intact and become an independent, physician led organization. Since that time, AHN has grown and retained that physician led focus. In May of 2017, AHN entered into a partnership with Optum who is part of United Health Group. Optum also feels strongly about physician leadership and physicians are involved in every decision regarding the direction for the organization. Optum is a health services and innovation company. Their mission is "To help people live healthier lives and make the health system work better for everyone". This mission was a match with American Health Network's strategic vision – making Optum the perfect partner for us. AHN has 70 clinic locations in Indiana and Ohio with approximately 1700 employees. Optum has over 125,000 employees and maintains operations throughout the US, South America, Europe, Asia Pacific and the Middle East.
