These investments will address urgent health-related needs
throughout all the Oklahoma communities Humana serves, with a keen
focus on rural maternal and behavioral health.
“Improving access to health care services is a critical part of
the work we do to help Oklahomans get the care they need in their
communities,” said Joseph Fairbanks, CEO, Humana Healthy Horizons
in Oklahoma. “By partnering with local organizations that know our
communities best, we help our neighbors in every area of the state
get the care they need when they need it.”
Highlights of Humana Healthy Horizons’ investments to expanding
access in Oklahoma include:
- Volunteers of America Oklahoma (VOAOK): VOAOK will bring
its innovative, evidence-based approach to treating pregnant women
and moms with Substance Use Disorder (SUD) to rural Southwest
Oklahoma with the creation of a new Family-Focused Recovery (FFR)
center in Lawton. This center will allow families to stay together
through recovery, improving outcomes and reducing instances of
Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS).
- CREOKS: The new CREOKS Behavioral Health Center under
development in Broken Arrow will be a first-of-its-kind facility
that integrates behavioral health, physical health, and crisis
stabilization in one location. With a goal to simplify
comprehensive healthcare, the center will offer a range of services
for all ages, supporting the intersection of mental, physical and
social wellness.
- The Rural Health Innovation Challenge: Humana Healthy
Horizons was a presenting sponsor of the Public Health Institute of
Oklahoma’s Rural Health Innovation Challenge, where participating
teams addressed health-related issues affecting their communities
and presented innovative solutions to a panel of judges.
- Variety Care Clinic: Variety Care’s new school-based
site on the Crooked Oak campus provides care coordination and
community-based services to deliver improved outcomes and health
literacy for students, school staff and the community surrounding
the school.
“Our outcomes-based approach to caring for women in recovery is
made possible through our partnership with Humana Healthy
Horizons,” said Pam Richardson, President/CEO, VOAOK. “Helping
women focus on recovery, deliver healthy babies and keep their
family together is an achievement for the women, the children and
the entire Oklahoma community.”
Humana Healthy Horizons has developed a wide range of
capabilities to serve the Medicaid population, integrating physical
and behavioral health, pharmacy, long-term care and social services
for a whole-person approach to improve the health and well-being of
