Centene Corporation (NYSE: CNC - News) today announced the creation of a program called Kids' Club, aimed at educating its child members on a variety of health topics. Centene's health plans are reaching out directly to children with newsletters, contests and other innovative events, such as readings with the author of "The Adventures of Thumbs Up Johnnie(TM)."

"Centene and its health plans understand the importance of getting children involved in order to affect healthy behavior changes," said Mary Mason, M.D., Senior Vice President and Chief Medical Officer at Centene. "We are reaching out directly to children with health information and encouraging our child members to become part of the club."
