 Series

Scope and Contents

The General Administration materials include correspondence, reports, contracts, agreements, financial records, legislative records, minutes, committee information, and other material related to the administrative functions of GHA. The General Administration series differs from the Board of Trustees and Executive Office series in that it provides a record of the day-to-day functioning of the company and strategic planning for providing internal administrative services, rather than the general strategic health-care related objectives documented in the other series. Inter-office memos and subject files address the basic routines that kept the organization operating efficiently, while material such as legislative documents and Humana acquisition meeting records outline the operational complexities GHA management faced. The series is oraganzied alphabetically into seven sub-series.
