The brand transition to CenterWell Home Health represents a
major step in the full integration of home health operations into
Humana.
“Integrating home health operations into Humana’s home solutions
business remains on track as we continue to build and scale our
value-based home health offering to improve patient health outcomes
nationally,” said Andy Agwunobi, M.D., MBA, President of Humana’s
Home Solutions segment. “The rollout of the CenterWell Home Health
brand reinforces our efforts to expand our home health capabilities
to meet the needs of our patients.”
Susan Benoit, President of CenterWell Home Health, said the
rebranding process continues to go smoothly. “It’s gratifying to
see our facilities transition to a brand that represents all the
ways we keep people at the center,” she said. “Throughout the
process, we have remained committed to ensuring that our
associates, patients and providers experience a seamless
transition, with the same care provided by the same clinicians our
patients know and trust.”
The introduction of CenterWell Home Health is part of a
comprehensive effort to unite Humana’s three main healthcare
service offerings – home health, senior primary care and pharmacy –
under a single brand, CenterWell. By bringing these services under
CenterWell, Humana is working to close gaps in care to help more
people live healthier and happier, while improving health outcomes
and lowering costs. CenterWell services are open to members of a
variety of health plans, not just those offered by Humana.
In March of 2021, Humana introduced CenterWell Senior Primary
Care as the brand for its fast-growing group of senior-focused
primary care centers across the U.S. In June of this year, Humana
rebranded its pharmacy operations as CenterWell Pharmacy and
CenterWell Specialty Pharmacy.
Home health operations in the following states are included in
today’s announcement, the third installment of a three-phase
rebranding initiative: Alabama, Arkansas, California, Connecticut,
Florida, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Mississippi,
Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee and
West Virginia.
Phase 1 of the home health rebranding initiative, begun on March
1, included Arizona, Idaho, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina,
Oregon and Washington.
Phase 2, announced in June, included Colorado, Georgia,
Illinois, Iowa, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota,
New York, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia and Wisconsin.
The rebranded Kindred at Home locations will soon display new
interior and exterior signage reflecting the CenterWell Home Health
brand. Employees in these locations have received new uniforms,
apparel and other branded materials to help bring the brand to
life.
About CenterWell
At CenterWell, part of Humana Inc., we create care experiences
that put patients at the center. The result is healthcare that
provides ease, is comprehensive and, most of all, comes with a
personal approach. Our primary care, pharmacy, and home health
services go beyond traditional clinical settings and outcomes,
working with patients and their care teams to close gaps and take
their whole health into account. Because when care is made relevant
and accessible, patients can lead healthier and happier lives.
The first services to adopt the CenterWell name were Humana’s
senior-focused primary care centers. CenterWell Senior Primary Care
serves members of many Medicare Advantage plans and is committed to
providing personalized, high-quality primary care combined with an
excellent patient experience.
During 2022, the Home Health division of Humana-owned Kindred at
Home is transitioning to the CenterWell brand – becoming CenterWell
Home Health. Also in 2022, Humana’s pharmacy business has adopted
the CenterWell name, becoming CenterWell Pharmacy and CenterWell
Specialty Pharmacy.
In recent years, Humana has significantly expanded its
healthcare services capabilities to better serve its medical
members and to significantly strengthen its payer-agnostic care
offerings. These services help deliver on the promise of better
quality and health outcomes, lower costs and a simpler, more
personalized experience for the people they touch.
The CenterWell logo features a blossom with three petals
symbolizing physical, emotional and social wellness – important
aspects of whole-person health that CenterWell care services
address.
