Hello Team,
One of the many things I admire about Humana associates is the will of our spirit. When we set our mind to something, extraordinary things happen. 2018 was no exception. It was the year we achieved a significant milestone – we reached our ambitious Bold Goal as a team.
Over the past several years, we have reduced our self-reported Unhealthy Days by 20%. Which means we’ve experienced an estimated 2.3 million more Healthy Days since we set our goal in 2012.
And as our Well-being Report highlights, we keep learning more about what it takes to live happier and healthier. For example, there’s a strong link between well-being and optimism. When we’re optimistic our stress levels are lower and that contributes to fewer Unhealthy Days.
I continue to be inspired by not only the results, but the stories from associates and their dedication.
There’s Julie Hofmann who, at the young age of 35, confronted her need for hearing aids. Her hearing aids provided her a new lease on life, and now help her better connect with the Medicare members she works with. Julie’s journey is one of many stories that demonstrate that well-being is about whole-person health.
I urge you to explore this year’s report and see for yourself how we’re doing. It’s full of rich results and powerful stories. And you’ll see we’re setting our sights even higher on the next generation of Bold Goal efforts.
Together, we will continue to make a positive impact— inside Humana and for all of those we serve.
