Centene Corporation is at the forefront of providing quality health access for individuals across the United States, including those who are under-insured and uninsured. As a leading multi-national healthcare enterprise, Centene is dedicated to transforming the health of communities we serve by providing local services for the families and individuals in our care. In 1984, Centene Corporation was founded as Family Hospital Physician Associates, a nonprofit health plan in Milwaukee, WI, by Elizabeth “Betty” Brinn. As the company grew, Michael Neidorff joined as Centene's President and Chief Executive Officer in 1996, helping to establish the new name and move its headquarters in St. Louis, MO. By the early 2000s, Centene's positive impact on healthcare spurred additional health plans, significant growth in revenue, and its transformation into a publicly traded company. After joining the FORTUNE 500 list in 2010, Centene continued to expand by launching operations in correctional healthcare, commercial insurance, and coverage for the military community, while acquiring large companies like Health Net and WellCare. As the #1 U.S. insurer in the Health Insurance Marketplace, Centene has never lost its focus on individual care or its passion toward community health. The company currently provides coverage across the United States and internationally in Spain, Slovakia, and the UK. With local health plans all over the U.S., staying connected with those individuals and families that need care most is central to Centene's unwavering commitment to quality healthcare for everyone.
