UMass Memorial Health Care is committed to improving the health status of all
those it serves and to addressing the health problems of the poor and other
medically underserved populations. We aim to improve the health status of our
communities by addressing some of the social, economic and political obstacles
that prevent people from attaining optimal health.
Our Community Benefits Program supports community health initiatives that
address unmet health needs in a proactive manner through partnerships with many
local human service organizations. The Community Benefits Advisory Committee,
for example, works collaboratively with UMass Memorial Health Care and makes
specific recommendations for program activities, identifies needs, generates new
ideas, plans and expands existing services, and provides overall program
support.
