Humana Inc. (NYSE: HUM), a leading health and well-being
company, and Humana’s philanthropic arm, The Humana Foundation,
have committed more than $2.2 million to COVID-19 relief and
hurricane recovery efforts in the state of Louisiana.
The Humana Foundation and Humana’s Bold Goal initiative have
supported $1,050,000 in direct COVID relief to Louisiana Community
Based Organizations, including five Feeding America member food
banks and contributions to local Volunteers of America and March of
Dimes organizations, as well as Federally Qualified Health Centers
in Louisiana. Additionally, $200,000 has been donated to hurricane
recovery efforts.
Humana Health Benefit Plan of Louisiana, Inc. and Humana
Insurance Company in Louisiana have contributed more than $1
million to date for funding for local organizations supporting
COVID-19 relief efforts ranging from providing meals to frontline
workers to supplying face masks for schools, health centers, and
homeless shelters.
“Humana has a long history in the state of Louisiana with a
strong commitment to quality care and population health,” said
Humana Medicaid Regional President Tony Mollica. “At Humana, the
decisions we make as a company are based on meeting our members’
physical, emotional and social health needs, and we are grateful to
have the opportunity to help our communities with both COVID-19
relief and hurricane recovery efforts.”
“Since the start of the pandemic, Humana has accelerated our
support to the state of Louisiana,” said Humana Medicare Regional
President Matt Berger. “Many Louisianans have been at home,
unemployed and without a way to get food so we are thankful to have
been able to contribute to local organizations that have partnered
with area restaurants to deliver free custom boxed meals to
families and to front line health care workers.”
“At no time in recent history has it been more important to rise
to the occasion to help our neighbors,” said Humana Employer Group
Segment Market Vice President Rhonda Bagby. “As we navigate this
uncharted territory, Humana is committed to providing meaningful
support to employers, our customers and our local communities.”
