Mission

Neighborhood Health Plan of Rhode Island (Neighborhood), an innovative health plan in partnership with community health centers, is a catalyst for improved access and better health in Rhode Island, especially for vulnerable populations.

Vision

To advance its mission, Neighborhood is working to create a world where:

• Everyone in Rhode Island has comprehensive health care coverage and access to high-quality health care.
• Community health centers are models for the delivery of high-quality, cost-effective primary care and the building blocks of community health in their respective communities.
• As Rhode Island’s essential health care financing partner, Neighborhood helps transform health care delivery in the state.
• Neighborhood members are actively engaged in their health and health care.

Values

• Innovation: Neighborhood looks for new ways to meet the needs of the people we serve and with whom we work.
• Improvement: Neighborhood is driven to become better at all the things we do.
