They also work to make definite that community services are available and responsive to beneficiaries.
The agencies named Thursday will engage in the assistance and alignment tracks of the Accountable Health Communities model. The twelve organizations in the assistance track will assist high-risk beneficiaries navigate community services, and the 20 in the alignment track will do the similar while also boosting alignment among partners to make community services available. 
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) declaration didn’t reveal the exact amounts awarded to each grantee. In accordance to a CMS fact sheet, the organization planned to award up to $2.57 million each to the twelve organizations in the assistance track and up to $4.51 million each to the twenty organizations in the alignment track. 
The funded organizations involved recognized industry names, like Hackensack University in New Jersey, Yale-New Haven Hospital in Connecticut, and the Oregon Health & Science University, as well as government entities such as the Baltimore City Health Department, and associations like the Denver Regional Council of Governments.
