- In addition to the major strategic acquisitions, over the years Humana acquires a large number of smaller companies. These acquisitions also contribute to the fact that Humana today possesses a very broad and high level of competence within care services and today offers a wide range of high-quality care services. The acquired operations have often had a long history in their niche and many of them has been delivering high-quality care services for many years, some for more than 40 years, and thus have already built up a good reputation before becoming part of Humana.
- Although Humana has made many acquisitions over the years, all of Humana's operations, irrespective of segment, are characterised by a strong focus on organic growth through the establishment of new operations in full responsibility homes and based on freedom of customer choice.
