Health Net to host convening with California Community Foundation and others to coordinate recovery of critical healthcare infrastructure
One hundred days after the devastating Eaton Fire began, Health Net, one of California’s most experienced Medi-Cal managed care health plans, and the Centene Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Centene Corporation, announced an additional commitment of $750,000 for wildfire recovery efforts in Los Angeles County. This new funding brings Health Net and the Centene Foundation’s total contribution to $1 million, underscoring their continued commitment to rebuilding and restoring impacted communities.

“Our objective shouldn’t be to merely restore what was lost,” said Dorothy Seleski, Medi-Cal president at Health Net. “We have a responsibility to the community to be deliberate and strategic in building a better healthcare system compared to what existed before the fires. This begins with assembling the right voices that reflect the needs of the community and bringing together the necessary resources to bring that vision to life.”

The funds will be distributed to trusted local nonprofit organizations working directly in the affected areas to support initiatives related to housing assistance, mental health, healthcare services and rebuilding critical infrastructure.
This week, Health Net is convening key stakeholders—including public health departments, community organizations and healthcare providers—to assess community needs and support the thoughtful rebuilding of healthcare infrastructure and drivers of health. Co-hosted in partnership with HealthBegins, the California Community Foundation, the Pasadena Community Foundation and GRACE (Gather, Respect, Advocate, Change, Engage), the convening will focus on four critical areas of impact:
- Respiratory health
- Mental and behavioral health
- Children and youth
- Housing
“In the wake of such devastating wildfires, rebuilding our communities requires partnership, persistence and compassion,” said Los Angeles County Supervisor Kathryn Barger. “We’re grateful to Health Net and the Centene Foundation for stepping up with this critical investment. Their support will accelerate recovery for families in need and help ensure that Los Angeles comes back stronger, safer and more resilient.”
