Community investments benefit eight
organizations throughout Ohio
Humana Healthy Horizons, the Medicaid business of leading health
and well-being company Humana Inc. (NYSE: HUM), announced today
that it has invested $4.6 million to support community
organizations in Ohio that share the company’s passion for
overcoming public health challenges and improving the health and
well-being of Ohioans.
“We are committed to supporting the important work being done by
these community organizations across Ohio to improve the lives of
people in the communities we serve,” said Jeff Corzine, Regional
President-Ohio Medicaid at Humana. “We’re investing in community
programs that will have a lasting impact on improving the holistic
health and well-being of all Ohioans.”
The investments are going to community partners helping parents,
families and individuals in need, including new mothers and
children, and assisting with housing security, health and wellness,
education, work force development, food security and more.
“The Foodbank is thrilled to work on health equity with Humana.
The funds from Humana will be spent providing services to
food-insecure residents across the Miami Valley,” said Michelle L.
Riley, CEO of The Foodbank, a Dayton-area organization serving the
Miami Valley through food distribution. “Ensuring our most
vulnerable populations have the resources needed for a healthy and
happy life is critical for our community to thrive. We thank Humana
for its insight and leadership as we work to eliminate hunger in
our communities.”
The community partners receiving funds are:
- The Foodbank
- Greater Cleveland Food Bank, the largest hunger relief
organization in Northeast Ohio
- Mid-Ohio Food Collective, which provides food to people across
20 central and eastern Ohio counties
- Volunteers of America Ohio & Indiana, which provides
behavioral health services, support for veterans, reentry from the
criminal justice system and housing
- CHN Housing Partners, an affordable housing developer, housing
services provider and residential lender
- March of Dimes, which works to improve the health of mothers
and babies
- Ohio Academy of Family Physicians, a statewide professional
association
- Ohio University, based in Athens
“Connecting families to healthy and nutritious food is an
important part of Mid-Ohio Food Collective’s mission,” said Matt
Habash, president and CEO of Mid-Ohio Food Collective. “We are
thankful to have support from Humana as we continue to work
together to find innovative solutions to hunger.”
“With Humana’s support, we are able to reach more people with
our signature programs as we work toward our goals of improving
maternal health and pregnancy outcomes so more babies will be born
full-term and healthy,” said Lisa Amlung Holloway, director of
maternal infant health for the March of Dimes in Ohio.
In April 2021, Humana was selected by the Ohio Department of
Medicaid (ODM) to deliver health care coverage to Medicaid
beneficiaries who live throughout Ohio. When Humana’s program entry
is implemented, Humana will serve adults and children across Ohio
with the goal of helping them improve their health and well-being
through a whole-person, value-based approach that goes beyond
traditional clinical care.
Humana has a strong and steadfast commitment to Ohio. As of
March 31, 2022, approximately 563,700 Ohioans have health coverage
through Humana Medicare Advantage plans, Medicare prescription drug
plans, commercial group health plans, and the TRICARE military
health care program as administered by Humana.
Humana is proud to be a community partner in Ohio by addressing
community and social determinants of health through its Bold Goal
program. The Bold Goal is Humana’s population health strategy to
improve the health of people it serves, and Cincinnati is one of
Humana’s official Bold Goal communities.
In addition, throughout the pandemic, the company has stepped up
to support people and programs working to keeping our communities
safe and functioning, and to support vaccination efforts.
