Massachusetts League of Community Health Centers

What Massachusetts League of Community Health Centers does

The Massachusetts League of Community Health Centers (the Mass League, founded 1965 as the community health center movement in Massachusetts, incorporated 1972) is a non-profit membership association and the designated Primary Care Association for Massachusetts, serving 50 member community health centers that collectively care for over 1 million patients across 285 communities and 98% of Massachusetts zip codes. The organization's offering spans workforce development programs (Suffolk Certificate Program in partnership with Suffolk University since 2002, PMHNP Fellowship, BHIPP behavioral health internship pipeline, LEAP licensure support with Mass General Brigham), student loan repayment administration (MA Repay up to $300,000 per recipient, Massachusetts Loan Repayment Program up to $50,000), the 7,500-square-foot James W. Hunt Jr. Training and Learning Center in Worcester, clinical quality and health IT initiatives, and policy advocacy. In July 2026 it launched the Mass League AI Playbook to guide member health centers on AI evaluation, adoption, and governance. The organization also operates six wholly-owned affiliates including Capital Link, CommonWealth Purchasing Group, and the Institute for Health Equity Research, Evaluation, and Policy.

Revenue mechanics are mixed: recurring membership dues from the 50 CHC members, tuition for the Suffolk Certificate Program ($6,126 member / $8,060 non-member), facility rentals at the Worcester training center, event registration fees for the Community Health Institute Annual Conference and Annual Awards Gala, and pass-through administration of state and federal loan repayment and grant programs (HRSA, Massachusetts Broadband Institute, private philanthropy). The League is governed by a Board of Directors under President & CEO Michael Curry, Esq., with senior leadership including a Chief of Staff, Chief Legal & Compliance Officer, CFO, Interim COO, and SVPs across Health Informatics, Clinical Health Affairs, Workforce & Training, Government Affairs, and Risk Management. The organization does not develop proprietary software or AI models; its technology footprint is a member portal, the AI Playbook governance framework, and health IT support services for members.
