Residents of rural and underserved communities often rely on local pharmacies for health care services beyond prescription fulfillment. They may visit their local pharmacy for chronic condition management, screenings, vaccinations, and much more.

“Our partnership with CPESN USA will increase access to care for thousands of Ohioans,” said Kathie Mancini, President, Humana Healthy Horizons – Ohio. “Through that access, we can help drive positive health outcomes for the members we serve.”

Health-related social needs such as care deserts and lack of adequate transportation can hinder people from realizing their best health. By significantly expanding its pharmacist network through the selection of CPESN® Ohio pharmacies, Humana Healthy Horizons – Ohio is demonstrating its commitment to quality, accessible care.

"CPESN® USA's mission is to bring payers, pharmacies, and communities together to provide locally delivered, value-driven health services," said Troy Trygstad, PharmD, MBA, PhD, Executive Director of CPESN® USA. "Hats off to Humana Healthy Horizons for bringing a network of 300-plus pharmacist providers embedded within community-based pharmacies into Ohio's health care ecosystem and patient safety net."

Community pharmacists have extensive knowledge about the areas in which they operate, and develop deep, personal relationships with their customers. This unique position in the community allows the pharmacists to provide individualized care. Humana Healthy Horizons members in Ohio can use the new pharmacist network immediately.

"We are confident in our ability to help Humana's members improve their overall health."
