At Centene Corporation (Centene), we partner with Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs), and experience the financial and operational challenges brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic firsthand. Our team shares a unique perspective on what it takes to provide accessible, quality healthcare in a post-pandemic world.

Centene is proud to partner with the National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC) to address these challenges through innovation, technology, proper resourcing, comprehensive training, and financial support. Together we work to provide our nation and especially the most vulnerable populations with the care they need at the right time in this new age. We are pleased to share how our staff is redefining what community health looks like in locations all across the United States.

Centene knows that every community has faced unprecedented challenges/changes, and that locally-delivered healthcare services driven by innovative technology is the most prudent way forward. Through our work with NACHC, we’ve equipped FQHCs with the necessary resources to provide care to underinsured and uninsured individuals, including expanded telehealth solutions, specialty equipment, and technical assistance. We also advocate for improved telehealth infrastructure and effective regulatory and policy changes from the government.

Centene has been a Leader Sponsor and a Corporate Member of NACHC for over 10 years. We are the only managed care organization recognized as a Leader Sponsor of NACHC which includes conferences & events such as; the Community Health Institute & Expo (CHI), Conference for Agricultural Worker Health, PCA & HCCN Conference, the Policy and Issues Forum (P&I) , and of course, the Financial, Operations Management / Information Technology Conference.

Although Centene is a leading multinational corporation with a presence in all 50 U.S. states and several international markets, we have never forgotten the purpose on which we were founded — to transform the health of the community, one person at a time. This philosophy guides our partnership with FQHCs, hospitals, physicians and community-based organizations across the country as we strive for the very best solutions for our members and the communities we all serve.
