Cambridge Health Alliance

Cambridge Health Alliance is a large public academic health system serving roughly 150,000 patients across Boston’s metro-north communities, with a community-centered safety-net mission. Its hospitals and neighborhood care network give corporate R&D teams access to real-world care delivery, while teaching affiliations with Harvard and Tufts connect CHA to established academic networks. The system’s population-health infrastructure and public-health partnerships support community-facing evaluation, implementation, and outcomes work. A dedicated Office of Sponsored Research supports study administration, compliance, trial registration, and external collaboration. CHA is positioned for competitive federal support, with NIH, AHRQ, HRSA, and CDC among the relevant national sponsors for its mission.
