Wiki Says
The corporate name was changed to Humana Inc. in 1974. Humana
experienced tremendous growth in the years that followed, both
organically and through the takeover of American Medicorp Inc. in 1978,
which doubled the company's size.
Humana brought the pioneering artificial heart research of Dr. Robert
Jarvik and Dr. William DeVries to Louisville, creating the Humana Heart
Institute in 1985.
The 1990s marked Humana's transition into a consumer health benefits
company. Humana spun off its hospital operations from its health
insurance operations in 1993, creating Galen Health Care, which then
merged with Columbia/HCA.
