Community Care Cooperative Strengthens ACO Network With 10 New FQHCs To Improve Outcomes and Reduce Costs

Community Care Cooperative (C3), a nonprofit, federally qualified health center (FQHC)-governed Accountable Care Organization (ACO), added 10 FQHCs as members across California, Colorado, Massachusetts, Oregon, Rhode Island, and Washington. The goal is to help FQHCs improve health outcomes and reduce costs for communities nationwide.

Effective January 1, 2026, these new participating health centers joined C3’s Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) ACO programs, including ACO REACH, the Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP), and ACO Primary Care (PC) Flex. With this expansion, C3 now collaborates with 47 FQHCs, collectively managing care for more than 46,000 Medicare beneficiaries . . .
