Business Wire
Humana Inc. (NYSE: HUM) announced today that its Veteran
population is the latest addition to its Bold Goal communities. The
Bold Goal is Humana’s ambitious population health strategy to
improve the health of the communities it serves. Since the 2015
unveiling of its Bold Goal, Humana has focused on addressing the
impact that social determinants and health-related social needs
such as food insecurity, social isolation and loneliness,
transportation and housing quality have on its members and in the
communities where they live.
When it comes to addressing the physical and mental health of
veterans, Humana’s integrated approach of community, clinical and
business integration is essential to addressing the root causes
exacerbating poor health. “Through our national Veteran Bold Goal
community, we’ll leverage the power of committed partners and
stakeholders to create solutions that help veterans achieve their
best health,” said Andrew Renda, M.D., MPH, Vice President, Bold
Goal and Population Health Strategy for Humana. “We’re proud to add
the veteran population to our Bold Goal strategy as it furthers our
enterprise commitment to serving those who’ve served our
country.”
Humana has a longstanding commitment to honoring and enhancing
the lives of veterans. Humana understands that veterans and their
families have unique health needs and care options. Advancing
Humana’s commitment to the veteran population as a Bold Goal
community will continue its role as a community builder and
facilitator for improvements to the healthcare system while
improving Healthy Days for veterans and their families.
Additionally, to drive better health in the veteran population,
Humana cultivates important relationships with Veteran Service
Organizations such as, Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW), Disabled
American Veterans (DAV) and AMVETS. Together, Humana and community
based organizations address the unique needs of veterans and their
families through initiatives aligned to three areas of focus: food
insecurity; loneliness and social isolation inclusive of veteran
mental health and suicide; and health equity to address barriers to
health for underserved veteran subgroups such as veterans of color,
female veterans, and homeless veterans.
Through one such initiative, the VFW and Humana have “United to
Combat Hunger" for four consecutive years through a collaborative
campaign designed to raise awareness and fight food insecurity
across the country with a one million meal goal for 2021. And
through Far From Alone, a public awareness campaign, Humana and
community partners strive to help normalize the issue of loneliness
and social isolation, raise awareness about its negative health
consequences, and leverage collective resources to help increase
social connectedness.
After recognizing veterans’ health benefits could be
strengthened and, while listening and working closely with
veterans, Humana created the Humana Honor Medicare Advantage plan.
The Humana Honor plans, available to anyone with Medicare, are
recommended by USAA and cater to veterans by rounding out benefits
they may already have through the VA. “Our veterans deserve the
very best healthcare and we’re proud to offer targeted care that
removes barriers to them having what they need to live a healthy
life,” said Ed Sandrick, Humana’s Veterans Channel Executive.
Humana invests in hiring veterans and military spouses to work
in the communities we serve, and meet fellow veterans where they
are, while also bolstering its service experience for veterans to
make healthcare more seamless.
