Business Wire
Humana Inc. (NYSE: HUM) announced today that Karen B. DeSalvo,
M.D., has been elected as a member of the company’s board of
directors.
Dr. DeSalvo, 52, served from January 2014 until August 2016 as
the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology for the
United States federal government, based in Washington, D.C. She was
concurrently Assistant Secretary for Health in the U.S. Department
of Health and Human Services (HHS) from October 2014 until January
2017. Both positions were presidential appointments.
Prior to her national government service, Dr. DeSalvo served as
the Health Commissioner for the City of New Orleans. Prior to that,
she was a practicing internal medicine physician based in New
Orleans, where she earned an M.D. and a Master’s in Public Health
degree from the Tulane School of Public Health. She served on the
Tulane medical school faculty as Chief of General Medicine and
Geriatrics and Vice Dean for Community Affairs and Health Policy.
Following Hurricane Katrina in 2005, Dr. DeSalvo led the building
of a high quality primary care network serving the most vulnerable
in the community.
“Karen’s extraordinarily varied and successful career in medical
practice and health administration will be a tremendous addition to
Humana’s Board, as the company continues to evolve from a
traditional health insurer to a consumer-focused enterprise
dedicated to measurably improving the health of our members,” said
Humana Chairman of the Board Kurt J. Hilzinger. “An important part
of health improvement is deploying technology to simplify the
experience of our members, and Karen’s experience as our nation’s
Health Information Technology coordinator and as a national leader
in delivery system transformation will prove invaluable to our
company’s relationships with our members and our physician
partners, as Humana continues to innovate in the area of health
data analytics.”
Dr. DeSalvo’s election brings the number of Humana directors to
12.
