Community Care Cooperative (C3), the largest non-profit, FQHC-governed Accountable Care Organization (ACO) in the country, announces it has earned $4.1 million in shared savings through the ACO REACH Model for Performance Year 2024. Our success was driven by generating $8.4 million in gross savings for Medicare, representing a 4.8% gross savings rate, underscoring C3’s ability to deliver measurable value through efficient care coordination and innovative strategies that improve outcomes for thousands of patients, while lowering costs.

The results reflect C3's continued investment in value-based care, responsible financial stewardship, and close collaboration with community health centers. By combining data-driven population health strategies with strong clinical partnerships, C3 continues to demonstrate that higher-quality care and lower costs can be achieved together.

A key driver of this success is C3’s partnership with Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs). Community health centers play a critical role in delivering comprehensive, accessible care to patients, ensuring that preventive services and chronic condition management remain a priority. By supporting FQHCs with resources and tools for value-based care, C3 strengthens local care delivery and helps patients receive the right care at the right time.

“These results demonstrate what’s possible when community health centers have the resources, data, and support to succeed in value-based care,” said Christina Severin, CEO of Community Care Cooperative. “Our ACO’s ability to deliver $4.1 million in shared savings is a direct reflection of our commitment to responsible financial stewardship and exceptional patient care. Generating savings while improving care for Medicare beneficiaries allows us to reinvest in programs, technology, and services that strengthen primary care and improve the health of the communities we serve.”

“Our partnership with C3 has been instrumental in helping us deliver more coordinated, patient-centered care,” said Maria Celli, CEO of Brockton Neighborhood Health Center. “Through the ACO REACH Model, we have gained access to the data, tools, and support needed to improve outcomes for our Medicare patients while ensuring care remains affordable and sustainable. We are grateful to C3 for being a trusted partner in advancing our mission to provide high-quality, community-based care.”

The ACO REACH Model, administered by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), promotes accountable, coordinated care that improves quality while reducing unnecessary healthcare spending. C3's Performance Year 2024 results reinforce the organization's leadership in helping community health centers succeed in value-based Medicare programs.
