The Mass League’s mission is to promote population health equity for all through leadership and programs that support community health centers and members in achieving accessible, quality, comprehensive, and community-responsive health care.
Its activities include technical assistance on community needs, regulatory requirements, value-based payment, technology systems, and data use; training for health center staff, administrators, clinicians, and board members; clinical quality initiatives; workforce development; and policy analysis and advocacy. It also supports efforts to expand health access and oversees a federally funded Health Center Controlled Network initiative that assists 36 health centers with health information technology.
The organization supports community health centers and their members. Examples of 2024 recipients include Codman Square Health Center, whose stated mission is to improve the community’s physical, mental, and social well-being; Caring Health Center, which says it works to promote health and care for people facing socioeconomic, linguistic, and cultural barriers; and NeighborHealth, which says it seeks to provide accessible, person-centered, compassionate care regardless of ability to pay.
