"I'm so proud that Centene is once again one of Fair360's Top 50 Companies for Diversity, because it shows our continued dedication to cultivating an employee population that deeply understands the needs and experiences of our members." 

Centene was also included in three of Fair360's specialty ranking lists: No. 7 for Top Companies for Talent Acquisition for Women of Color, No. 9 for Top Companies for Executive Women and No. 18 for Top Companies for People with Disabilities.  

Centene recently released its Sustainability & DEI Report: Healthy Futures, Diverse Horizons, which underscores the company's continued efforts to integrate diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in order to better deliver high-quality, culturally sensitive healthcare to the more than 28 million members the company serves nationwide.  

Today's announcement adds to several recent awards acknowledging Centene's commitment to DEI.
