“Humana is proud to partner with the AAFP Foundation because we share a common commitment to advancing the health and well-being of communities through strong primary care.” — Dr. Alex Ding, Humana Deputy Chief Medical Officer

The AAFP Foundation asked the folks at Humana what was behind their decision to support our organization as a corporate donor and what drives their ongoing collaboration with the AAFP. Their response was simple, yet powerful: 

“Family physicians are the cornerstone of whole-person health, and the Foundation’s efforts to support education, leadership development and service outreach help strengthen that foundation.” — Dr. Alex Ding, Humana Deputy Chief Medical Officer

Through this partnership, Humana and the AAFP are able to work together to better support physicians, empower patients and drive equitable health outcomes across the country.

Humana is particularly excited about its work in value-based care models that prioritize outcomes over volume. Their efforts in leveraging data analytics insights, coupled with their health screening tools and resources, are helping family physicians identify gaps in care and engage patients more holistically across providers and services — ultimately reducing hospitalizations and improving quality of life for patients managing chronic conditions. 

Humana recognizes that achieving and maintaining good health — and effectively managing chronic disease — are influenced by much more than medical care alone. It’s why they regularly seek opportunities to work with local organizations, community leaders and health advocates to expand access to essential resources and to promote wellness outside the clinical setting. 

By investing in community-driven solutions and preventive care efforts, Humana aims to foster more resilient and healthier communities. 

The AAFP Foundation is grateful to Humana for supporting our mission and making it possible for our signature humanitarian, educational and scientific programs to thrive. In turn, we are proud to leverage the expertise and access of our family physicians to support the important work Humana is doing to improve lives.
