BOSTON, May 23, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- CommonWealth Purchasing Group (CPG), the nation's leading group purchasing organization serving community health centers and nonprofit organizations, is proud to announce a new vendor partnership with BridgeHealthAI, a trailblazer in AI-powered solutions for social care navigation. This strategic partnership enhances CPG's commitment to delivering transformative, cost-effective tools that support the mission and efficiency of community-based healthcare providers.

"BridgeHealthAI's offering aligns perfectly with our mission to provide members with the most impactful, forward-thinking solutions in healthcare," said Rich Napolitano, Executive Director & Senior Vice President of CommonWealth Purchasing Group

BridgeHealthAI is a HIPAA-compliant, AI-powered platform built specifically for Community Health Workers, Social Workers, and Case Managers. Founded at Harvard and MIT by a team with lived experience navigating the safety net, it is a 24/7 assistant that helps care teams do more with less, reducing administrative burden, increasing efficiency, and enabling high-impact, patient-centered care.

With the healthcare landscape demanding faster, more accurate connections to community resources, BridgeHealthAI replaces fragmented tools and hours of manual coordination with one secure, unified system with automation, verified data, and real-time communication.

BridgeHealthAI streamlines the entire workflow — instantly matching patients to verified resources, answering benefit questions in real time, generating and sending multi-lingual care summaries in seconds via SMS, email, or print, enabling two-way communication, and ultimately closing the loop.

At its core, BridgeHealthAI delivers on a simple but powerful promise: speed to Resolution—faster, easier, wiser.

"BridgeHealthAI's offering aligns perfectly with our mission to provide members with the most impactful, forward-thinking solutions in healthcare," said Rich Napolitano, Executive Director & Senior Vice President of CommonWealth Purchasing Group "Their technology radically improves how care teams identify resources, close referral loops, and deliver social support — all while saving time and improving patient experience."

Key Benefits to CPG Members Through BridgeHealthAI Include:

  • Instant Benefit Matching: Quickly surface eligible local and national resources using a continuously updated, verified resource hub, enriched by care teams and trusted public sources.
  • AI Assistant Support: Access an always-available assistant that answers benefit questions, eligibility criteria, and steps to apply instantly and accurately.
  • Two-Way Communication & Follow-Through: Generate and send multilingual care summaries via SMS, email, or print — and engage in two-way communication to close the loop in real time.
  • Personalization & Collaboration: Save, organize, and share curated resource lists, add internal programs, and rate tools to enable continuous learning across care teams.
  • Built for Speed to Resolution: BridgeHealthAI replaces fragmented workflows with one unified platform — helping care teams resolve social needs faster, easier, and smarter.
  • Fast Start, Future-Ready: The platform requires no EHR integration to launch and can be implemented in weeks. It offers scalable pathways for deeper interoperability as needed.

"This is deeply personal for me. I grew up in a low-income immigrant family that relied on public programs and the compassion of CHWs and social workers — the same care teams we now serve. They are the trusted backbone of our healthcare system, helping families navigate complex systems with dignity and heart.

At BridgeHealthAI, we're building what they've always deserved — a trusted extension of the team that supercharges their ability to do more with less. We take the burden off their shoulders so they can focus on what matters most: the people they serve. That's why we're here." Jinal Shah, CEO of BridgeHealthAI
