CCA Health Michigan was launched in 2022 following a majority stake acquisition of Reliance ACO in March by Commonwealth Care Alliance® (CCA), an integrated care system influencing innovative models of complex care nationwide. In November of 2022, CCA Health Michigan expanded its footprint in the state through the acquisition of the Greater Genesee County Accountable Care Organization (GGC ACO). GGC ACO joined CCA Health ACO with 23 primary care practices in the greater Genesee County area with an aim to enhance patient care and improve health outcomes while lowering associated costs.
