| Story Behind the Need | |
| This team primarily focuses on supporting our OB population through care coordination, outreach, and resource connection efforts. Responsibilities include engaging pregnant and postpartum members, coordinating transitions of care following inpatient admissions and hospital discharges, and addressing social determinants of health (SDoH) needs such as transportation, housing, food insecurity, and utility assistance. While OB experience is preferred, it is not required for this role. The purpose of these outreaches is to promote continuity of care, support healthy maternal and infant outcomes, reduce NICU rates, and connect members with valuable community resources and services. We work remotely, but our team culture is rooted in Centene's values and demonstrated through behaviors such as doing what's right, not what's easy, and going above and beyond for our members and each other. Key projects include maternal health initiatives, improving member engagement throughout pregnancy and the postpartum period, strengthening community partnerships, and supporting innovative programs that address barriers to care and improve health outcomes. No additional upcoming hiring needs at this time. |
