Humana and The Humana Foundation Commit More Than $2.2 Million to COVID-19 Relief and Hurricane Recovery Efforts in Louisiana

NEW ORLEANS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Humana Inc. (NYSE: HUM), a leading health and well-being company, and Humana’s philanthropic arm, The Humana Foundation, have committed more than $2.2 million to COVID-19 relief and hurricane recovery efforts in the state of Louisiana.

The Humana Foundation and Humana’s Bold Goal initiative have supported $1,050,000 in direct COVID relief to Louisiana Community Based Organizations, including five Feeding America member food banks and contributions to local Volunteers of America and March of Dimes organizations, as well as Federally Qualified Health Centers in Louisiana. Additionally, $200,000 has been donated to hurricane recovery efforts.

Humana Health Benefit Plan of Louisiana, Inc. and Humana Insurance Company in Louisiana have contributed more than $1 million to date for funding for local organizations supporting COVID-19 relief efforts ranging from providing meals to frontline workers to supplying face masks for schools, health centers, and homeless shelters.

“Humana has a long history in the state of Louisiana with a strong commitment to quality care and population health,” said Humana Medicaid Regional President Tony Mollica. “At Humana, the decisions we make as a company are based on meeting our members’ physical, emotional and social health needs, and we are grateful to have the opportunity to help our communities with both COVID-19 relief and hurricane recovery efforts.”

“Since the start of the pandemic, Humana has accelerated our support to the state of Louisiana,” said Humana Medicare Regional President Matt Berger. “Many Louisianans have been at home, unemployed and without a way to get food so we are thankful to have been able to contribute to local organizations that have partnered with area restaurants to deliver free custom boxed meals to families and to front line health care workers.”

“At no time in recent history has it been more important to rise to the occasion to help our neighbors,” said Humana Employer Group Segment Market Vice President Rhonda Bagby. “As we navigate this uncharted territory, Humana is committed to providing meaningful support to employers, our customers and our local communities.”
