The Kraft Center for Community Health
About
The Kraft Center for Community Health is a Boston-based center within Mass General Brigham that develops new ways to bring quality, cost-effective health care to disadvantaged individuals and families. Its approach is to incubate solutions to difficult, real-world community health problems, test them locally with community health centers and other partners, and then spread the most successful models across Massachusetts and nationally.
The center was established in 2011 with a gift from Robert Kraft and is housed within Community Health at Massachusetts General Hospital. Its work has two main focuses: training a new generation of clinical leaders committed to community health, and delivering frontline services to people in need. Programs include the Community Care in Reach mobile health initiative, a mobile health program offering primary care and addiction services, along with a mobile postpartum care unit and cancer care equity efforts.
