Awards

The 2008 Tree of Life Award for service to people recovering from addiction,
was presented to James Gavin, President, and Community Care, by Message Carriers of Pennsylvania.

In 2007, Community Care was awarded “full” accreditation - the highest level possible - by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) “Community Care’s Accreditation is proof that it is an organization which works hard to coordinate care, ensure access and provide good customer support for members,” said Margaret E. O’Kane, NCQA president. “It’s a sign that Community Care is focused on improving the behavioral health of its members.” Community Care received a perfect score in all applicable standards.

The American Association of Community Psychiatrists (AACP) and H. Steven Moffic, M.D, presented Community Care with the 2003 Moffic Award for Ethical Practice in Public Sector Managed Behavioral Healthcare in October 2003. The AACP recognized Community Care for its ethical practices in patient care, as evidenced by its accomplishments in Western Pennsylvania, partnership with providers, and academic alliances. The award was presented to Community Care for uniquely attending to the needs of consumers and providers; and for assertively advocating accessible behavioral health services, quality care, best practice models, and improved outcomes. Community Care is the only managed care organization ever to have been nominated.
