As the mother of two active-duty soldiers, Humana employee Jessica Rodriguez, a senior risk management professional, knows firsthand the challenges service members experience. Supporting other military families and working toward her career goals with those who support her is why Jessica is an active part of Humana's Salute Network Resource Group. “Network resource groups at Humana have supported my professional development by providing high-potential opportunities to work on critical projects and to mentor the next generation of leaders of Salute,” she says. At Humana, we’re committed to bringing together employees from all walks of life, with different skills and diverse perspectives. Jessica says: “To me, diversity increases innovation, creativity and strategic thinking because teams of people who come from different backgrounds can draw upon their unique experiences and a wider range of knowledge to spark new, innovative ideas.” Find out more about how Humana supports its veteran employees at https://huma.na/4f0R3kX.

Mental healthcare is healthcare, and we are raising awareness about the need for equitable access to quality mental healthcare for all our members during National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month.     “Minority communities often face higher rates of mental health conditions but are less likely to receive mental health treatment,” said Dr. J. Nwando Olayiwola, MD, MPH, Chief Health Equity Officer & SVP. “There is a significant need for expanded mental healthcare among all Americans, but access to timely and quality mental healthcare among minority communities in the United States is even more dire.” Learn more about how Humana has developed tailored programs and resources to meet the unique mental health needs of minority populations in Dr. Olayiwola’s latest article. #MentalHealth #MinorityHealth #HealthEquity 

Medicare Advantage helps advance health equity and access to healthcare by serving more beneficiaries of color, especially those with higher social risk factors. The majority of Latino and Black Medicare beneficiaries choose MA coverage over traditional fee-for-service Medicare. And, Latino and Black Medicare beneficiaries are more likely to be dually eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid, a group that tends to have complex social risk factors that are key drivers in health disparities, such as food insecurity and lower home ownership rates.

We know that health is much bigger than what happens at the doctor’s office. That’s why our focus on health equity doesn’t stop at healthcare services.

Humana and CenterWell continue to prove our commitment to health equity through: - $90M to help provide affordable housing - $10M to equity-focused community programs and organizations - 250K meals and $15,000 supplied from 2023 Food & Fund Drive - 282K referrals in Humana Community Navigator®, which helps people find low- and no-cost resources in their community Read more about Humana’s health equity efforts in our 2023 Impact Report: https://huma.na/4bj8OZi #HealthEquity #HumanaImpactReport

Preventive care is fundamental to the health and well-being of Americans of all ages, and most preventive services are available at no cost to patients. But not everyone accesses preventive services at the same rate, leading to health disparities in communities across the country. Humana is partnering with the government, other health insurers, and advocacy organizations to raise awareness about the importance of preventive health services and screenings by encouraging members, patients, employees and their families to stay up to date.

Humana remains committed to creating a culture of belonging.
