At Commonwealth Care Alliance, our mission is to provide the best possible care, tailored individually to the members we serve throughout Massachusetts — elders and people across the age spectrum with special healthcare needs. To accomplish this, we bring to scale proven clinical strategies that improve care and manage costs, within a team-​based, consumer-​directed, prepaid care delivery program.

History

Established in 2004.

The roots of Commonwealth Care Alliance can be found in a decades-​long collaboration between dedicated clinicians, advocacy groups, community organizers, philanthropic funders, government agencies, and policymakers. Beginning in the 1970s, visionary leaders in Massachusetts came together and stayed together to build a statewide community health movement that arguably has no counterpart anywhere else in the country. Inspired by the values of human dignity, individual empowerment, and equitable access to care, this movement built a robust network of community health centers in low-​income communities across Massachusetts and pioneered an array of care delivery innovations that improved the lives and independence of the frail, sick, and disabled.
