Centene Corporation (NYSE: CNC) announced today its New Hampshire subsidiary, NH Healthy Families, has been selected by the New Hampshire Department of Health & Human Services (DHHS) to continue to provide high quality, integrated healthcare services to enrollees statewide in the New Hampshire Medicaid Care Management (MCM) program. The New Hampshire Governor and Executive Council voted to approve a new five-year contract, which is expected to commence later in 2019.

"We look forward to continuing our partnership with the state and all stakeholders to provide better health outcomes for New Hampshire residents at a lower cost to the state."
Over the past five years, NH Healthy Families has partnered with local providers, social service agencies, public policy makers and community and civic groups to support members in their personal health and wellness goals and public health initiatives.
"NH Healthy Families is committed to serving New Hampshire MCM members across the state to ensure that they have access to the quality, comprehensive and integrated healthcare that they deserve," said Jennifer Weigand, Plan President and CEO for NH Healthy Families.
