Commonwealth Medicine provides partnership opportunities for state and local agencies to increase the value and quality of publicly funded health expenditures and to improve access and delivery of care to at-risk and uninsured patients. With Commonwealth Medicine public agencies can leverage the academic, research, management and clinical resources of UMMS for maximum effectiveness.
