About East Bay Community Action Program

East Bay Community Action Program (EBCAP) is a private, non-profit 501 (c) (3) corporation. The mission of EBCAP is to provide high-quality, comprehensive and accessible health and human services to assist people to achieve their fullest potential.

In 2016 EBCAP merged with East Bay Center (EBC), a state recognized Community Mental Health Center (CMHC) and Integrated Health Home. Given that the two were recognized at the local, state, and national levels as premier providers, the transformation and merger into a single organization greatly enhanced the level of expertise and expanded the breadth and depth of services that EBCAP could offer to the communities it serves.

With this merger, EBCAP received provisional approval by the state as an Accountable Care Entity, an in-house partnership of medical, dental, behavioral health, and social service providers working together to create a shared culture of collaboration and transformation of the health care system. The ACE will focus on supporting high quality care, enhancing health information technology, and experiencing shared savings through agreements with major Medicaid providers, such as Neighborhood Health Plan of RI.

EBCAP is proud to provide a full array of services including integrated family health, behavioral, and dental services; Head Start and Early Head Start; Women, Infants and Children; family development; Healthy Families America home visiting; Heating and Energy Assistance; Victims of Crime Act information and referral services; and much more!

The vision of EBCAP is to be recognized as the premier human service agency in the east bay.
