Connecting Communities to Care (CCC) is Health Care For All’s statewide initiative to help Massachusetts residents get, keep, and use their health coverage.
CCC focuses especially on people who may face greater barriers to coverage and care, including immigrants, older adults, people with disabilities, families with limited English proficiency, people with low incomes, and people experiencing housing instability.
Through CCC, Health Care For All works with community- and faith-based organizations across Massachusetts to provide trusted outreach, education, enrollment help, and connections to health and social services.
From Redetermination Campaign to Statewide Infrastructure
CCC builds on the success of the Massachusetts Redetermination Campaign, a first-of-its-kind partnership between HCFA, MassHealth, the Massachusetts Health Connector, and community organizations.
When MassHealth renewals restarted in April 2023 after a three-year pause during the COVID-19 public health emergency, HCFA launched a multilingual and multicultural campaign across 15 high-impact communities. Through door-to-door outreach, community events, enrollment assistance, Certified Application Counselor (CAC) training, and statewide communications, the campaign reached more than 1.2 million residents and helped thousands of people renew or transition their health coverage.
Today, CCC has grown into a statewide network of community- and faith-based organizations. Partners provide outreach and education in trusted community settings, help people enroll in or renew health coverage, and connect residents to other services they may need.
The partnership also works in the other direction: community organizations tell HCFA what they are seeing and hearing on the ground. This helps HCFA and MassHealth better understand emerging needs, barriers, and opportunities to improve how residents access health coverage and care.
