We’re pleased to share that Riverside Community Care and Bay State Community Services will join together effective January 1, 2027, strengthening access to high-quality, community-based behavioral healthcare and human services across Massachusetts.
With adjacent service areas and complementary programs, coming together will create new opportunities for collaboration and coordinated care across eastern, central, and southeastern Massachusetts.
The combined organization will operate under the Riverside Community Care name, while Bay State Community Services’ programs will continue to serve the communities and people who rely on them. There will be no interruption to services, and individuals and families will continue to access care through the programs and locations they currently use.
Together, we will build on the strengths of both organizations to enhance care, strengthen community partnerships, and better meet the evolving needs of those we serve.
