About Centene Corp

Centene Corporation is a managed healthcare enterprise at the forefront of innovation and growth for government-sponsored and commercial healthcare, providing access to fully integrated, high-quality, and cost-effective services that help people lead healthier lives. The company’s local approach addresses the needs of under-insured and uninsured individuals who often lack the resources required to sustain optimal health and wellness. Centene began as a single health plan in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 1984. After an initial period of growth, Michael Neidorff joined as President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) in 1996, moving Centene’s headquarters to St. Louis, Missouri, where it still resides today. In the decades since its humble beginnings, Centene has transformed into a publicly-traded Fortune 500 company serving communities across the United States. In fact, Centene provides coverage in all 50 U.S. states. More than 26 million Americans rely on Centene to access a wide range of insurance solutions, including Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE, correctional, and behavioral health services. Centene prioritizes the development of technology that addresses systemic conditions impacting the whole health needs of underserved populations. As technology plays an increasingly critical role in diagnosing, managing, and treating disease, Centene understands that it enables better health outcomes for members, lessening the burden for providers, and allowing more automation and efficiency for business operations. As a steward of a significant set of data and insights, Centene leverages this data to not only shape but lead the digital transformation of healthcare and improve the patient-provider experience. Centene’s current CEO, Sarah London, and her team are leading the charge in this new age. Sarah London worked within Centene’s Technology Innovation and Modernization division, spearheading the company’s enterprise-wide technology strategy. Now leading Centene, her focus is on building the next generation of products and services and establishing Centene’s long-term growth and value creation. Although Centene has grown into the No. 1 insurer in the U.S. Health Insurance Marketplace, it has never lost its focus on the individual or its passion for community health. Remaining connected to the individuals and families that need care most is central to Centene’s commitment to shaping a better world of healthcare for the communities it serves. Centene also remains connected to the needs of its employees, who make Centene what it is. Through its commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion practices, Centene promotes a safe and inviting environment above all. Because of Centene’s commitment to excellence and progression in the healthcare industry, it has been recognized as a Top Organization for Diversity by Modern Healthcare magazine, a Leading Disability Employer by the National Organization on Disability, a Best Place to Work for LGBTQ Equality by The Human Rights Campaign Foundation, and a global leader by Bloomberg’s Gender-Equality Index, among many other recognitions. Centene was also named a Top 50 Company for Diversity by DiversityInc and a Top Veteran-Friendly Company by U.S. Veterans Magazine.
