About CareSource
About us
In 1989, CareSource pioneered the state's first Medicaid managed care program in the Dayton, Ohio area. The company has experienced significant growth in the nearly 20 years that we have operated and is now the fourth largest Medicaid managed care company in the nation.
In 2006, the CareSource family of companies created the CareSource Foundation which focuses on furthering our Mission through long-term innovative solutions that support a holistic approach to addressing the health care needs of the underserved. The CareSource Foundation provides grants for issues of the uninsured, critical health trends, community health issues and collaborative health care efforts.
Vision and Mission
Our Vision is to be an innovative national leader in the management of quality public-sector health care programs. Our Mission, which we call our heartbeat, is to make a difference in the lives of underserved people by improving their health care.
