Humana’s CenterWell division completed a $1 billion acquisition of MaxHealth, a Florida‑based senior‑focused primary‑care network, on February 13 2026. The deal adds 54 owned primary‑care clinics, 4 specialty/ancillary clinics and 24 affiliate clinics, bringing the combined network to 82 locations that serve more than 120,000 patients, including over 80,000 enrolled in value‑based care programs.
The acquisition expands CenterWell’s geographic footprint in West and South Florida, a key growth market for the company’s integrated care model that combines pharmacy, primary care and home‑health services. By adding MaxHealth’s patient base, CenterWell will be able to deliver its personalized, value‑based approach to a larger cohort of seniors, potentially improving care coordination and cost control for Humana’s Medicare Advantage members.
"We are pleased to complete the acquisition of MaxHealth and are excited to welcome their dedicated team of clinicians and staff to CenterWell Senior Primary Care," said Sanjay Shetty, President of CenterWell. "The deal expands our geographic footprint and patient base, reinforcing our commitment to high‑quality, value‑based care for seniors.","MaxHealth’s founder‑shareholder, Kimberly Ficocelli, highlighted the organization’s mission: "MaxHealth was built with a commitment to reshaping healthcare delivery in Florida." The acquisition aligns with Humana’s broader strategy to grow CenterWell, which is already the nation’s largest senior‑focused, value‑based primary‑care provider.
Analysts view the deal as a strategic move that strengthens Humana’s competitive positioning in the Medicare Advantage market. While the acquisition is expected to deepen the company’s provider network and expand its value‑based care footprint, broader market concerns about Humana’s 2026 outlook—particularly potential cost pressures and uncertainty around Medicare Advantage enrollment growth—continue to influence investor sentiment.
