Mission
The mission of CMIPA is to grow and maintain the independent practice of
medicine in Central Massachusetts


Vision
CMIPA is a network of independent physicians in Central Massachusetts
dedicated to providing high quality care to their patients and supporting each
other in independent practice.

Our physician leaders have the responsibility of guiding us through change,
sharing information and developing ideas about the best ways to provide
effective, efficient and safe health care.

We strive to develop cohesive relationships amongst our members/providers to
ensure that patients receive timely access to health care services.

Our collective strength enables our members to manage their practices efficiently
and to receive fair compensation for the care they provide.

We provide tools and data so that our members can practice with the best
available technology and most up-to-date clinical information. Our goal is to
consistently achieve healthcare outcomes that improve the health of our patients.

We seek to build relationships with hospitals, health plans and community
agencies to support our mission and to enhance quality healthcare.
