On August 21, over 6,000 Humana employees embarked across downtown Louisville with one mission—giving back. The impact of the inaugural Humana Community Day, sponsored by Humana and the Humana Foundation, has been felt widely throughout our city and our company. We’re proud to serve our neighbors and put into action the ways we put health first for communities across the country. #HumanaCommunityDay #TeamHumana

Raising awareness and spreading hope—Tuesday evening, Humana hosted an inspiring event at the Grand Ole Opry, honoring Face The Fight? and aiming to shed a light on the mental health crisis affecting veterans. Though mental health and wellness affect us all, it especially impacts the brave men and women in the United States military community. Since 2001, more than 120,000 veterans have died by suicide, 1.5 times the rate of the general population. Humana and the Humana Foundation work alongside USAA, Reach Resilience and more than 170 other organizations as part of the Face The Fight? coalition to show support and advocate for the care of the military community. During the event at the Opry, Humana recognized USAA’s Justin Schmitt with the Humana Boots on the Ground Award for leading the way on this meaningful initiative.

In a new study from Humana Healthcare Research, our researchers found that patients of senior-focused primary care clinics had more visits with their primary care doctor. These effects were even greater among Black and low-income Medicare Advantage beneficiaries.

Pickleball is a sport we all know and love—but some people may not know how it all started. Turns out, there are two versions of the origin story of how the sport got its name.

Helping to improve health equity for everyone is a key part of what drives us. That includes looking at how improving business models may affect patients. A new study by Humana Healthcare Research showed that value-based payment models—where the cost of care is based on things like health outcomes and patient satisfaction—were associated with less race disparity in emergency department visits for Black patients who received primary care from a value-based doctor. While more research is needed to determine exactly how this type of care contributes to the differences, the findings may suggest a path to more equitable care for everyone.
