Overview

Connected Healthy Lives Every day, people face a multitude of choices that may affect their health and quality of life. In many communities, these choices are limited by factors beyond a person’s control. That is why we are expanding healthy choices for communities and creating more equitable health outcomes by working to eliminate the social and structural barriers to health. Our goals We create healthy emotional connections as a vital part of our holistic approach to care. We shape a healthier approach to nutrition that supports lifelong health and wellbeing. We deploy our knowledge and resources as stewards of good health in communities across the country. Our approach The Humana Foundation partners with local communities and trusted community organizations in Louisville, KY, Texas, Florida and Louisiana to create a network of support for people confronting life’s challenges, regardless of their age, race, ethnicity, or gender identity. We connect people to various programs and services committed to suicide prevention, substance abuse treatment, foster grandparent programs, and more. We collaborate with community ecosystems to advance nutritional literacy and food security so people can have consistent and reliable access to healthy food. From awareness initiatives for seniors to community food systems and food mapping pilot programs, we empower people on their health journey. We ground our work in the needs and desires of those we serve, performing data analytics to advance collective learning and creating real, measurable impact that improves lives. Disaster Philanthropy The Humana Foundation allocates funding each year to provide emergency relief to communities in crisis with the goal of supporting equitable, long-term health and recovery. Our goals We partner with Humana Inc. to provide relief to Humana associates, facilities and Humana plan members affected by disasters. We respond to calls from national, regional or local leaders for emergency assistance. We support preparedness efforts that ensure a more equitable response to disasters. Our approach Disaster funds provided by the Humana Foundation, along with matching donations made by Humana Inc. associates, are primarily directed to immediate relief and long-term community health and recovery. Additional funding may also be made available for disaster preparedness in communities that are planning and training for a more equitable response to disasters, which accounts for unique needs across age, race, ethnicity and gender identity.
