Physician independence. Strong support. Community care.
MetroWest Healthcare Alliance (MWHCA) is a not-for-profit physician organization serving the MetroWest community that strongly believes in the principles of population health, value-based care, and keeping care local.
Founded in 1997 by independent, like-minded physicians in private practice, MetroWest Healthcare Alliance (MWHCA) has evolved into a dynamic and inclusive organization that embraces all providers, including independent physicians, employed physicians, and advanced care providers. Our commitment to physician independence and autonomy now extends to all who share our mission and vision.
At MWHCA, our tradition of referring patients to experienced specialists within our Physician Organization (PO) remains a cornerstone of our commitment to exceptional patient care. We foster a sense of community among our PCPs and specialists, promoting seamless collaboration and enhancing the well-being of our patients. Our private specialist network includes a wide range of disciplines, from dermatology, nephrology to orthopedics, gastroenterology, ophthalmology, ob/gyn, allergy, addiction medicine and pain, infectious disease, podiatry and surgical subspecialties such as ENT, bariatrics, plastics and neurosurgery. This diversity of expertise ensures that our patients receive comprehensive, top-quality care tailored to their unique needs.
MWHCA takes pride in its membership in the Tufts Medicine Integrated Network (TMIN), a distinctively different population health enterprise and value-based care contracting entity. Our partnership extends to local Tufts Community Specialists, including the Tufts Medicine Cancer Center-Framingham and the Heart Center of MetroWest. We collaborate with a variety of other Tufts Community-based specialty providers such as: pulmonology, neurology, endocrinology, rheumatology, ensuring that our patients have access to a comprehensive range of specialty and high-level critical care services right in their community.
For advanced care needs, our patients can conveniently access services nearby at MetroWest Medical Center. Additionally, we offer tertiary referrals to Tufts Medical Center in downtown Boston and have an affiliation with Boston Children’s Hospital, ensuring that our patients receive comprehensive and top-quality healthcare services whenever needed.
