Centene was founded in 1984 as a nonprofit Medicaid plan by a former hospital bookkeeper, Elizabeth "Betty" Brinn. The business, operated in the basement of Family Hospital in Milwaukee, built its guiding principles on Brinn's experiences growing up in a Milwaukee County orphanage. With more than three decades of experience operating government-sponsored programs, Centene remains as dedicated as ever to the health and unique needs of the communities it serves.In addition to being the largest Medicaid Managed Care Organization in the country, we are proud to be the largest carrier on the Health Insurance Marketplace and a national leader in managed long-term services and support.
