We spark new ways of working by connecting you to peers and possibilities you wouldn’t find on your own.
We seed change by giving you the space, time, and resources to put new approaches into practice, plus the support to help it take root.
We spread what’s promising across the safety net, so you can draw on that shared knowledge and infrastructure to grow stronger.
CCI works across the safety net — with providers, community-based organizations, health plans, public agencies, and philanthropic partners — to address the field’s most urgent needs. Right now that means:
Behavioral Health Equity: Most people who need care for mental health and substance use disorders still don’t get it. Care works best when it’s evidence-based and free of stigma, delivered close to home, in a language they speak, by a provider they trust. CCI helps organizations work in closer coordination, and brings the plans, counties, and providers responsible for behavioral health to the same table to align resources and bring what works to scale.
Housing and Health: Housing instability and poor health are deeply linked, but the systems designed to address them rarely work together. People without stable housing cycle through emergency rooms, shelters, and the streets without coordinated care. CCI builds partnerships, care models, and infrastructure that make integrated care and innovative approaches possible.
Immigrant Health: Shifting policies are creating fear and confusion that keeps people from care they need. Safety-net providers are on the front lines, navigating patient trust, workforce strain, and guidance that changes by the week. CCI builds the cross-sector collaboration and trusted access to care that keep immigrant communities healthy.
Medicaid Transformation: Medicaid is the backbone of the safety net, and it’s under pressure from every direction. The leaders navigating that pressure need tools that work, peers who understand the terrain, and a way to turn policy change into real benefits for their communities. CCI convenes those leaders and supports their work of putting it into practice.
Safe and Responsible AI: AI is entering health care faster than the guardrails can be built. Organizations that have the fewest resources and serve the highest-need communities face real risk in using AI without safeguards and real cost in being left behind. CCI is working alongside partners to create the shared governance and infrastructure needed for trustworthy AI adoption.
