Centene, its health plans, and its subsidiaries have long been leaders in transforming the health of our members and the communities where they live. We believe in local partnerships and value the innovative programs and services that they provide for underserved and at-risk populations.
Fostering Culturally Competent Care
Centene has a long-standing partnership with the National Hispanic Medical Association (NHMA), which works to improve the health of Hispanic communities and other underserved populations. Centene and our health plans provide a range of support to the NHMA, including participating in its annual conference. This year’s conference focused on social determinants of health and well-being. Ambetter Health introduced conference attendees to the Stay Healthy Zone, a digital health and wellness platform tailored to assist individuals with meeting wellness goals.
Centene subsidiaries Ambetter Health, Meridian, and Wellcare participate in the Annual Fiesta del Sol festival in Pilsen, a prominent Latino community in Chicago, Illinois. This event highlights the Latino culture and history, and provides an economic stimulus to the small businesses, local non-profit organizations, and scholarship recipients. For the past two years, employee ambassadors have contributed more than 80 hours of community service to this event, positively impacting thousands of people.
