Fidelis Care Maternal Health Grant Applications Now Open to Providers and Organizations Across New York State
Grants aim to support innovative strategies in postpartum care and maternal mental health in underserved and vulnerable communities LONG ISLAND CITY, N.Y., June 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Fidelis Care, a statewide health plan with more than 2.4 million members in New York State and a Centene Corporation company, has opened the application process for its 2025 maternal health grant program. The grants, open to healthcare providers and community-based organizations in New York, aim to fund programs that support innovative strategies in postpartum care and maternal mental health. The application is available at The deadline to apply is 5 p.m. July 8, 2025. Postpartum care and maternal mental health are critical components of long-term health and well-being for new mothers and their families. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) says mental health conditions, including depression and anxiety, are among the most common complications of pregnancy, affecting an estimated one in five individuals annually in the United States. Postpartum care attendance is inconsistent, with mean attendance rates in the U.S. around 72%, and even lower among the most vulnerable populations, such as those served by Federally Qualified Health Centers, where non-attendance can reach 43%. Access to health insurance has been associated with higher postpartum visit attendance, which is essential for screening and addressing both physical and mental health needs after childbirth. "As a healthcare community, we must recognize that supporting mothers after childbirth is just as vital as caring for them during pregnancy," said Fidelis Care Chief Medical Officer Dr. Vincent Marchello. "Ensuring access to postpartum care and mental health services not only improves the well-being of mothers but also strengthens families and communities as a whole." Fidelis Care plans to announce the recipients of its 2025 maternal health grants in August. About Fidelis Care Fidelis Care is a mission-driven health plan offering quality, affordable coverage for children and adults of all ages and at all stages of life. With more than 2.4 million members statewide, Fidelis Care believes that all New Yorkers should have access to affordable, quality health insurance.

Health Net and Centene Corporation (CNC) Commit Over $7.2 Million to Boost Healthcare Access Through Mobile Clinics in California
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. A doctor exchanging files with a patient in a clinical setting, highlighting the company's commitment to rare diseases treatment. 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. While we acknowledge the potential of CNC to grow, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk.
