Provider Resources

MnFIRE Assistance Program

Thank you for partnering with MnFIRE and Optum on the exclusive MnFIRE Assistance Program network. We’re dedicated to serving and treating Minnesota firefighters who risk so much to keep our communities safe. We invite you to explore this page for helpful providers resources on this curated network that’s upgraded from a traditional EAP to support Minnesota firefighters and their families.

If you have a colleague who might also be interested in working with firefighters, their families and loved ones, please contact MnFIRE Provider Relations Coordinator Emily Deboer.
