This in turn, allows Humana to improve health outcomes and helps everyone achieve their best health.

Holli Turner was named the 2024 NGLCC Supplier Diversity Advocate of the Year Award for her leadership in diversifying Humana’s supplier base to better reflect the members, patients and communities Humana serves.
