Meridian Health Plan of Illinois and the Centene Foundation (NYSE: CNC) have awarded $1.5 million to OSF HealthCare to expand its pregnancy and postpartum program through a new mobile maternity care unit. The three-year grant aims to serve Central Illinois communities across eight counties where access to maternal care is limited.
The initiative addresses a critical healthcare gap, as 34.3% of Illinois counties are considered maternity healthcare deserts, with some residents needing to travel up to 59 miles to reach a birthing hospital. The mobile unit will provide comprehensive prenatal and postpartum services including sonograms, lab work, vaccinations, and blood pressure monitoring, starting operations in July 2025.

The program, which began during the COVID-19 pandemic, now supports 20 community-based organizations managing nearly 30 hygiene closets in various Texas cities. These closets help fill a critical gap as personal care items are not covered under SNAP benefits, which serve approximately 3.5 million low-income Texans.
Centene Corporation (NYSE: CNC) has withdrawn its previously issued 2025 GAAP and adjusted diluted earnings per share (EPS) guidance due to significant challenges in its Health Insurance Marketplace business and Medicaid operations.
Based on data from Wakely covering 22 of 29 Marketplace states, CNC expects a reduction of approximately $1.8 billion in net risk adjustment revenue transfer, corresponding to an adjusted diluted EPS impact of about $2.75. The company anticipates additional reductions from the remaining seven states. In response, Centene has begun refiling 2026 Marketplace rates to reflect higher projected baseline morbidity.
