Centene was founded on the belief that every individual deserves access to healthcare. The COVID-19 pandemic has made it increasingly clear that Centene holds a responsibility to remove barriers to care facing the underserved. Truly transformative healthcare requires a holistic view—medical, economic, social, cultural, and environmental—of an individual and the community in which they live. Centene has long understood this connection, but recent events underscore the continued need to address disparities facing vulnerable populations.
