Core offering

CCI designs and delivers cohort-based learning programs, accelerators, and tailored advising engagements for healthcare safety-net organizations such as community health centers and public hospitals. Offerings span topics including artificial intelligence adoption, telehealth, behavioral health integration, addiction treatment in primary care, maternal and child health, and housing-and-health partnerships. The organization convenes stakeholders, curates curricula, and provides peer coaching and technical assistance to participating provider teams.

Product overview

Center for Care Innovations (CCI) is a nonprofit capacity-building organization serving the healthcare safety net, not a software product company. CCI offers a portfolio of structured programs and learning initiatives that help safety-net organizations build capabilities. The core offerings include: Technology Hub (digital health technology testing), Catalyst (design thinking innovation program), and Connected Care Accelerator (virtual care implementation support). Additional programs span behavioral health equity, addiction treatment, population health management, and trauma-informed care transformation. CCI Academy provides online learning through short courses and peer workshops. The Resource Center serves as the primary knowledge platform, housing over 900 articles, webinars, and tools. CCI operates three engagement models: Capacity Building Initiatives (cohort-based programs), Advising and Consulting (specialized expertise), and Ecosystem Development (field convenings and knowledge sharing). The organization does not offer a standalone software product but rather facilitates adoption of technologies including AI-assisted documentation tools through its programs.

Direct peers

• Center for Health Care Strategies: A nonprofit policy and implementation intermediary that works with state agencies, health plans, and providers to improve care for low-income and complex-needs populations — directly analogous to CCI's safety-net capacity-building role.
• Camden Coalition: Healthcare innovation and care-model design organization focused on complex, high-need patients; operates a similar combination of field convening, cohort learning, and care-model piloting as CCI.
• Health Leads: Nonprofit that addresses social determinants of health through partnerships with health systems and community organizations — overlapping target customers (safety-net providers) and similar cohort-and-advisory model.
• Primary Care Development Corporation (PCDC): Nonprofit that builds capacity for primary care providers in underserved communities through financing, coaching, and policy work — directly comparable mission and customer base to CCI.
• California Primary Care Association (CPCA): State-level membership association for California's community health centers and FQHCs — serves the same primary customer segment as CCI and convenes the same providers for training and policy work.
• Corporation for Supportive Housing (CSH): National nonprofit intermediary that works at the intersection of housing and health, including supportive housing and Medicaid financing — directly comparable to CCI's Housing and Health focus area.
• Health AI Partnership: Coalition producing AI guidance and learning resources for safety-net providers, co-producing CCI's AI in Action webinar series — directly comparable in focus area and customer base to CCI's AI work.

Broad incumbents

• National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC): National membership association for FQHCs that runs training, policy advocacy, and innovation programs for safety-net providers at much greater scale — a broader-scope incumbent serving CCI's core customer base.

Others

• Tides Center: CCI's former parent organization; a nonprofit incubator and fiscal sponsor that hosts mission-driven projects and convenes funders — a closely related nonprofit intermediary model.

Emerging players

• Nonprofit Finance Fund (NFF): Nonprofit that builds the financial capacity of mission-driven organizations through capital, consulting, and research — overlaps with CCI's capacity-building orientation but focused on financial rather than clinical operations.
