Medical Home Network (MHN) was founded by the Comer Family Foundation in 2009 to improve the health and quality of care for Medicaid patients in Chicago’s south and southwest neighborhoods.
MHN ACO, LLC evolved from provider-led initiatives managed and supported by MHN, a Chicago-based not-for-profit focused on transforming care and building healthier communities in the safety net.
MHN’s model is built upon the patient-centered medical home, a primary care physician and care team charged with coordinating and managing a patient’s care.
MHN ACO is wholly-owned by 16 Cook County community-based, non-profit provider organizations – 13 Federally Qualified Health Centers and 3 Hospitals – that for decades have provided compassionate, culturally competent care in many of the County’s most socially and economically marginalized communities.
We are united in our vision to improve healthcare delivery for vulnerable populations – achieving what is often referred to as the “Triple Aim” of improved quality of care, an improved patient experience and reduced medical costs. We work collaboratively to improve the health of the communities we serve.
Our proven care management model focuses on whole person health by integrating medical, behavioral and social care.

Health Risk Assessments are the cornerstone of care management
We are providing our patients with better care through the use of coordinated care management at the practice level. Our innovative technology delivers real time alerts and historical data so we can make decisions about patient care when and where they will have the greatest impact.
Our team-based, patient-centered model of care is working – and delivering positive results. ER visits and readmission rates are down while the number of County Care members, physicians and practice-level care managers in our network are growing. But most important, our patients are more involved in their own treatment and have access to higher quality, better care. This is the best outcome of all.
