The investment dollars have been disbursed to 24 nonprofit organizations that share the company’s passion for overcoming public health challenges and improving the health and well-being of Louisianians.

“Partnering with community-based organizations and local institutions is central to our ‘human care’ ethos. We believe in reaching our members where they are to best address their health-related social needs and encourage their best health,” said Lori Dunne, President, Humana Healthy Horizons – Louisiana.

The investments, given to community partners across the entire state, are helping parents, families and individuals in need – including new mothers and children – with health and wellness, education, food security and more. This year, a portion of the grants are dedicated to expanding and diversifying the health care workforce through partnerships with institutions of higher education, to include historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs).

“Humana’s 2024 support will provide critically important assistance to Xavier's Physician Assistant (P.A.) and Pre-Med programs, as well as our Career Services Office and ‘Give.Love.Xavier. 2024’ Campaign,” said Jeff Hale, Director of Corporate and Foundation Relations at Xavier University. “I am particularly impressed with this spread of 2024 support, which encompasses student aid (in two vital health sciences programs), annual fund (the day-to-day lifeblood of private universities such as Xavier), and career readiness, the signpost at the intersection of university life and the business/professional world.”
