more united community
Today, Humana (NYSE: HUM) announced actions to support its
hometown of Louisville in its efforts to address racial inequity
and unite toward a stronger community.
“We are at a pivotal moment in our country’s history, and it
will come down to the actions and commitments we make today that
will position us for a better tomorrow,” said Bruce
Broussard, President and CEO of Humana. “Caring for each other
and respecting differences is who we are as a company, and we do
not tolerate racism or discrimination of any kind. At the core of
our values is serving the communities in which we operate. The
mission of our company has taken on particular significance in our
hometown of Louisville that is reeling from the devastating loss of
Breonna Taylor, protests and ensuing tragedies. This is a community
that is already suffering the impact of COVID-19. There is a lot of
work and healing to do to rebuild physically and emotionally.”
Among its commitments, Humana will:
- Donate $11.5 million focused on rebuilding,
relief, equity and inclusion efforts in Louisville. Proceeds will
support the health of the community, create greater health equity,
and make the company’s hometown more inclusive and equitable for
all.
- Contribute up to 160,000 employee volunteer
service hours to help revitalize downtown Louisville and
communities across the country.
- Partner with local health officials to
further the impact of the company’s Bold Goal commitment to address
and improve the underlying health disparities in Louisville.
- Continue to invest in the
upskilling/reskilling of Louisville talent in partnership with
other corporate partners.
As part of its $11.5 million commitment, Humana is donating $6.5
million to ensure the Louisville Urban League’s Sports and Learning
Complex located in Louisville’s west end reaches its finish
line.
“The Sports and Learning Complex is about transforming a
community that has suffered for far too long. It is about investing
in ways that are responsive to the demands ringing loud and clear
here in Louisville and across America. Through this project, we are
cleaning up a brownfield, improving health outcomes and catalyzing
economic development. We are not just helping to revitalize a
community but the human spirit," said Sadiqa Reynolds, President
& CEO of the Louisville Urban League.
In 2018 and 2019, Humana invested more than $9 million in
Louisville’s non-profits, with $5 million dedicated to the west
end. Through these investments and more announced today, Humana is
showing its dedication to improving the quality of life in
Louisville, including addressing the social determinants of
health.
Humana employs nearly 13,000 associates in Kentucky—1,200 of
whom reside in Louisville’s west end.
