Recognition Marks Fifth Consecutive Year
Centene Honored in Annual Ranking
ST.
LOUIS, Feb. 1, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Centene
Corporation (NYSE: CNC) announced today it has once again been
recognized by FORTUNE magazine as one of the World's Most Admired
Companies. This marks the fifth consecutive year Centene has been
named to FORTUNE's list, which includes the most respected and
reputable companies around the world, as ranked by peers within
their respective industries.
"Centene is honored to receive this recognition, which
underscores the hard work and dedication of our more than 83,000
employees who share in a mission to transform the health of our
local communities, one person at a time," said Sarah London, CEO of Centene. "2022 was a
meaningful year for Centene – one marked by tremendous change and
many successes – but one thing that remained constant was our
commitment to our mission and purpose as we help people live
healthier lives."
In 2022, Centene achieved a number of significant milestones and
continued to execute on its Value Creation Plan, designed to
prepare the company for its next wave of growth and innovation with
a focus on its core managed care business (Medicaid, Marketplace,
and Medicare). Among many successes, the company won or expanded
important new Medicaid contracts in California, Delaware, Indiana, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, and Texas.
Centene also announced its Health Insurance Marketplace line of
business Ambetter Health would expand into Alabama and extend its geographic footprint by
more than 60 counties across 12 existing states, and the company's
Medicare line of business Wellcare expanded its wide range of
Medicare Advantage (MA) and Medicare Prescription Drug Plan (PDP)
offerings across 209 new U.S. counties.
And in 2022, Centene remained committed to its purpose and
mission, supporting its members and local communities. When faced
with tragedies and natural disasters in areas such as Buffalo,
Uvalde or the Gulf Coast of
Florida, Centene employees
mobilized across the company with unwavering support, providing
time, resources, and innovative projects and investments.
