🌟 Reflecting on a Transformative 2025 at MHPA: Celebrating Our Collective Achievements! 🌟

As we close the chapter on 2025, MHPA is proud to highlight some outstanding contributions from our dedicated teams this year. Despite the policy challenges throughout the year, our ⚖️ Policy team remained steadfast, engaging with key policymakers, fortifying relationships on Capitol Hill, and championing our members' priorities at federal and state levels. This strategic groundwork has us poised for even greater impact in the year ahead.

Our 👥 Membership team drove remarkable growth, welcoming new members—LA Care, Geisinger Health, and Gold Coast—to the MHPA family. They also orchestrated our largest conference ever, shattering records in attendance, sponsorships, and exhibits—fostering invaluable connections across the Medicaid stakeholder community.

The 🔎 Research team made waves with the release of “How Medicaid Managed Care Plans Improve Health Outcomes with Quality Improvement Projects,” showcasing innovative, multi-year strategies in behavioral health, chronic illness, and primary care access. Don't forget to subscribe to MHPA research updates for more insights: https://ow.ly/W65C50XICC6 .

Our 💬 Communications team is thrilled to have partnered with "All Access with Andy Garcia,” to be featured in a documentary amplifying MHPA's vital role in advancing health parity through Medicaid managed care nationwide.

These accomplishments underscore MHPA's commitment to enhancing quality health care for Medicaid enrollees. Here's to building on this momentum in 2026—thank you to our members, affiliates, partners, and teams for making it possible!

“More than 50 million people rely on our member plans to deliver the care they need. We do not take that responsibility lightly and we are continuing to strengthen MHPA so we can do even more in the future to help those in need get the care they deserve.” – Craig A. Kennedy, President & CEO, MHPA

As 47 million Americans face food insecurity (including 13 million children), Medicaid Managed Care Organizations (MCOs) are activating community partnerships to address nutrition needs during recent SNAP disruptions. Across the country, MCOs are investing in local nutrition programs to provide vulnerable populations with access to healthy food.

L.A. Care Health Plan, the nation’s largest publicly operated health plan, is investing up to $5.4 million to provide CalFresh beneficiaries including L.A. Care members with nutrition support. The health plan has partnered with the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank, Food Forward, and the YMCA of Metropolitan Los Angeles to distribute grocery gift cards and fresh foods — and to help expand distribution points across Los Angeles County.

Iowa’s three Medicaid MCOs – Iowa Total Care, Molina Healthcare of Iowa, and Wellpoint Iowa – have each committed to donate $100,000 to help support the state’s food banks.

AmeriHealth Caritas is contributing $5 million to food banks in North Carolina. Also in the state, Carolina Complete Health, one of Centene's Medicaid plans serving over 275,000 members, is facilitating over $200,000 to support food banks and organizations addressing food insecurity. Additionally, 10 Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) will receive funding, enabling them to distribute food directly to patients in need.

And in Texas, Superior HealthPlan and Centene Foundation - the philanthropic arm of Centene Corporation - are investing $400,000 across nine food banks to provide access to healthy, nutritious food.

Medicaid MCOs recognize that the foundation to good health starts with access to healthy food. We’re proud that they are stepping up to help ensure millions have access to fresh, nutritious meals.
