Today, we recognize the resilience, innovation, and dedication of rural communities and healthcare providers working to improve access to care and health equity across the nation. At Health Net, we’re proud of the work Centene Corporation and its health plans are doing to support initiatives that uplift rural communities, ensuring better health outcomes for all.

This year’s Rural Health Day theme is “Advancing Maternal Health in Rural Communities,” an opportunity to celebrate initiatives that improve health outcomes for some of our most vulnerable members. In rural Fresno County, CA, Health Net, a Centene company, engaged a community advisory workgroup to better understand Salvadorian cultural practices around postpartum care. Through education and tailored communication strategies, Health Net worked with providers to create culturally sensitive approaches to care. As a result, postpartum visits increased from 50% to 82% over a two year period. #RuralHealthDay #RuralHealth #PowerofRural
