The Center of Excellence to Align Health and Social Care (COE), operated by USAging, has selected the participants for its 2025 Community Care Hub National Learning Community (NLC) — an opportunity that will foster shared learning, engagement, and capacity building for community care hubs (CCHs).
A CCH serves as a community-focused, regional, statewide, or multi-state umbrella organization that coordinates administrative services and supports for a network of social care providers (e.g., multiple area agencies on aging, centers for independent living, and other community-based organizations).

The selected social care networks will engage in an interactive curriculum that will provide tailored support and opportunities for growth to help participating CCHs strengthen their ability to address non-medical drivers of health through contracted partnerships with local health care organizations. CCHs and their networks of community-based organization providers play an important role in supporting the coordination of person-centered care and services, often serving as a bridge between community-based organizations, health care payers and providers, and public health systems to increase a community’s capacity to reach populations who are underserved. The NLC will support the development of CCHs and sustainable community partnerships nationwide.
If interested in learning more about the CCH model, ACL, in partnership with the COE, developed a CCH 101 Learning Seriesthat provides information and resources on the foundational building blocks of CCHs.
