Humana Announces New Strategic Joint Venture with BlackRock to Manage CenterWell Senior Primary Care Clinics
Humana announced a new joint venture with funds managed by HPS Investment Partners, part of BlackRock, covering nearly 150 CenterWell Senior Primary Care clinics currently held in joint ventures with WCAS. BlackRock will acquire WCAS's equity stake, valued at approximately $2.8 billion, with the new venture majority owned by BlackRock and minority owned by CenterWell, which will continue to operate all clinics. Humana expects enhanced balance sheet efficiency, a significantly lower cost of capital, and a reduction in liabilities from removal of the put arrangements; CenterWell gains an option to buy clinics starting in 2028.
