“Health imperatives' mission is to improve the health and well-being of low-income or vulnerable families and individuals in southeastern massachusetts. We aim to meet the diverse needs of a growing population of underserved individuals with complex needs in communities stretching from quincy to nantucket. The majority of those we serve have multiple barriers to good health, safety, and economic security. We are committed to creating innovative ways of reaching people who are particularly at-risk, including survivors of interpersonal violence, immigrants who are afraid to seek health care or emergency support, people with disabilities, lgbtq individuals, people who are homeless, and individuals with substance use disorders. Over the past few years we have restructured our services, focused on our core competencies, and developed strategic alliances in order to fulfill our mission. We believe that it is essential to streamline and coordinate services within the organization and with others in our region, particularly given declining resources and increasing needs.”

“The audit committee appointed by the board of directors assumes responsibility for the oversight of the audit of its financial statements and the selection of the independent accountant.”
