Driving Change Across California’s Health Care System
At the California Quality Collaborative (CQC), 2024 was a year of action, collaboration and measurable impact. With your partnership, we helped over 932,000 Californians receive better care—through stronger primary care delivery, expanded access to behavioral health, deeper engagement with Medi-Cal communities and equity-centered transformation.
Discover how we turned shared goals into real-world improvements across California, and what’s ahead in our mission to elevate care for all.
Scaling Integrated Behavioral Health—Statewide
CQC’s Behavioral Health Integration (BHI) Initiative is creating sustainable pathways to whole-person care. From supporting eight organizations to implement integration across 730,000 lives through the CalHIVE BHI improvement collaborative, to launching a youth-focused learning exchange, our 2024 work helped advance behavioral health screening, access and equity across the state.
