Tuesday Health announced a partnership with Humana Inc. (NYSE: HUM) to provide value-based palliative care services to eligible Humana members in Texas living with serious illness. The program launches June 1, 2026.



Under the partnership, eligible Humana members will access Tuesday Health's interdisciplinary care teams, including nurses, social workers, nurse practitioners and physicians. The teams will work alongside members' existing clinicians to manage symptoms, guide medical decisions and support caregivers. Care delivery includes in-person and virtual visits with 24/7 clinical access.



"Living with serious illness can be overwhelming for members and their families, at any stage of their journey," said Dr. Traci Granston, Vice President, Trend and Clinical Innovation at Humana. "Through our partnership with Tuesday Health, we're expanding access to palliative care that is not limited to end-of-life care but can be provided alongside curative treatment."



The Center to Advance Palliative Care reports that more than 12 million Americans currently live with serious illness, a number expected to grow as the population ages.



"Our mission is to ensure people living with serious illness, and the caregivers who support them, never feel like they are navigating this journey alone," said Jim Wieland, CEO of Tuesday Health.



Tuesday Health operates as a value-based palliative care provider group that partners with national and regional health plans. The company delivers coordinated palliative care aimed at improving quality of life while reducing hospital and emergency department visits.
