Humana’s Medicaid managed care plan, Healthy Horizons in Louisiana, has committed more than $1 million in strategic investments to expand access to care, address chronic disease, and strengthen behavioral and maternal health supports across Louisiana. By partnering with trusted organizations that understand the needs of their communities, Humana is furthering its commitment to support the priorities set by the Louisiana Department of Health.

“Louisiana families deserve opportunities for better health—no matter where they live,” said Michelle Alletto, President, Humana Healthy Horizons in Louisiana. “These investments reflect our commitment to driving transformational change for all Louisianans.”

This year’s investments support organizations advancing quality outcomes, access to care, chronic disease prevention, behavioral health, workforce development, and maternal and child health priorities. Funding will help deliver mobile health services, expand diabetes and cancer prevention programs, support trauma-informed youth initiatives, and strengthen local health workforce pathways.

2026 grant recipients include:

• Allegiance Health: Supports a mobile health initiative delivering preventive, primary, and chronic care services, including screenings for blood pressure, vision, glucose, depression, and maternal wellness. Events will be held across Louisiana in both urban and rural areas.
• American Diabetes Association: Expands Project Power Youth, serving 500 children ages 5–12 with nutrition education, physical activity programming, and family engagement—aimed at slowing childhood obesity and preventing type 2 diabetes in high-risk communities.
• Community Foundation of North Louisiana (Step Forward Initiative): Helps children and families affected by poverty through resilience-building programs including teen suicide prevention, workforce readiness, and youth mental health education across region 7.
• NOELA Community Health Center: Targets outreach and health screenings for multiple diseases, including cervical cancer and breast cancer, in New Orleans East.
• Second Harvest Food Bank of Greater New Orleans and Acadiana: Supports the Makin’ Groceries Mobile Market, which brings fresh, affordable food to 23 parishes, and provides education around healthful nutritional choices.
• Xavier University of Louisiana: Strengthens workforce development pathways through scholarships for students in the physician assistant program.

Through these strategic investments and partnerships, Humana Healthy Horizons is helping advance the state’s priority of improving health outcomes for all residents. By supporting local organizations and innovative programs, Humana remains committed to expanding access and fostering progress toward a healthier Louisiana.
