Mission, Vision & History
Mission
CBC leverages community partnerships to coordinate integrated medical and behavioral health interventions that, coupled with a specialized emphasis on social determinants of health, promote a healthier New York.
Vision
CBC seeks to create a healthcare environment where New Yorkers–especially those most impacted by social determinants of health–receive coordinated, individualized and culturally competent care that is effective in preventing and managing chronic physical and behavioral health conditions. We help New Yorkers live long, healthy and fulfilling lives.
History
CBC was launched in 2011 by innovative NYC not-for-profit behavioral health organizations in order to meaningfully participate in NYS’s Medicaid redesign and Value Based Purchasing initiatives. In the following years CBC developed a citywide Health Home, which is currently the largest of its type in NYC. CBC has launched effective gap-filling service programs for low-income New Yorkers that build on the expertise of its community-based service network. CBC “knits together” affiliated programs to holistically address individuals’ treatment and recovery needs, while assessing community deficiencies and connecting individuals to needed support.
