Humana Inc. (NYSE: HUM) announced that Robert S. Field has been elected to its board of directors, effective immediately following the company's 2026 annual meeting of stockholders.

Field serves as principal and managing member of ηMed Capital Management LLC, an investment firm focused on U.S. healthcare services companies, primarily in the managed care industry. He previously worked as a senior analyst at Luxor Capital, a multi-strategy investment fund, where he led healthcare services investments. Earlier in his career, Field was an associate at McKinsey & Company and practiced antitrust law at Vinson & Elkins LLP.

"We are pleased to welcome Rob and are confident that the investor perspective he has developed over more than two decades as a healthcare investor will bring meaningful insight to our Board," said Humana Chairman Kurt J. Hilzinger. "His deep expertise across investment evaluation, risk oversight, and capital allocation —along with his strong understanding of legal and regulatory dynamics in the healthcare sector — will be valuable as Humana executes on its strategy to drive profitable, sustainable growth and long-term shareholder value."

The appointment followed a comprehensive search process led by the Humana board and informed by shareholder engagement, including input from John Petry, managing member of Sessa Capital, according to the company's press release.

Humana operates healthcare insurance services and CenterWell healthcare services for millions of people with Medicare, Medicaid, families, individuals and military personnel.
