Health Net and the Centene Corporation (NYSE:CNC)'s philanthropic arm, Centene Foundation, have announced a major $7.2 million investment to expand healthcare access for underserved Californians through a new fleet of mobile health clinics.

The initiative, part of the Mobile Outreach for Value, Equity and Sustainability (MOVES) program, will deliver preventative care, screenings, health education, and social support directly to communities facing barriers such as limited transportation and lost wages from time off work.

Local partners, including AltaMed, Community Medical Centers, Kaweah Health, and Vision y Compromiso, will deploy pop-up clinics and mobile medical vans at parks, community events, and other gathering spots, aiming to reach thousands who might otherwise go without care.

Leaders say these mobile clinics are more than vehicles; they are lifelines that bring compassionate, equitable care to where people live and gather, building trust and fostering long-term relationships between healthcare providers and the communities they serve. The grants also position recipient organizations as conveners, bringing together local partners to address a full spectrum of physical, behavioral, and social needs.

This investment by Health Net and Centene Corporation (NYSE:CNC)'s Centene Foundation builds on their broader commitment, over $158 million in funding for community-based organizations since 2017, and reflects a long-term strategy to strengthen California’s health infrastructure and improve outcomes statewide.
