Humana President and CEO Michael B. McCallister to Address The National Summit

DETROIT--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Humana Inc. (NYSE: HUM) President and CEO Mike McCallister has been invited to speak at The National Summit, which will bring together business, government, labor and academic leaders from across the U.S. to develop and promote actions to improve America’s competitiveness in the global economy. The Summit is scheduled for Monday through Wednesday, June 15-17, in Detroit.

“The National Summit is a one-of-a-kind gathering to help get America’s economy back on track during an economic downturn of historic proportions,” said Beth Chappell, president and CEO of the Detroit Economic Club, which is organizing and hosting The National Summit. “We are delighted that speakers from a wide spectrum of industries have agreed to be a part of this critically important national discussion.”

McCallister will speak on how technology innovation can create health care access and efficiency by creating a globally connected health care information infrastructure.

“It is an honor to be asked to participate in this forum – and to be among a group of leaders who really want to create change and take action now,” McCallister said. “The rising cost of health care coupled with the difficult economic environment are impacting individuals and companies of all sizes across the country. Employers are looking for innovative ways to continue providing affordable health coverage to their workforce. This will be an important forum for discussing real-world results.”

The Detroit Economic Club is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization with a 75-year history of convening leaders to debate and discuss important business, government and social issues.
