Community Research Initiative Of New England

AccessHealth MA (formerly known as Community Research Initiative/CRI) leads the fight against HIV and other infectious diseases. A unique, public health nonprofit, we provide access and support through drug assistance, insurance support, prevention, and research—all to make Massachusetts a healthier, more equitable place for every resident of the Commonwealth. Integrating drug assistance, insurance navigation, prevention, and research, we offer a holistic, client-centered approach that advances social justice and equity in healthcare. Our goal is to diminish infectious diseases in Massachusetts, including HIV and tuberculosis. We provide access to life-changing medications and health insurance coverage for Massachusetts residents in need who are living with HIV, at risk for HIV, have tuberculosis, or who have other infectious diseases. AccessHealth MA also conducts life-changing clinical research and has contributed critical research data that resulted in the FDA approval of nearly all the currently available HIV medications.
