OUR MISSION

EMBEDDING EXCEPTIONAL CARE IN THE COMMUNITIES THAT NEED IT MOST

At C3Cares, our mission is to bring exceptional, compassionate, and equitable healthcare directly into the communities where people live because EVERYONE DESERVES THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE HEALTHY.

INNOVATION

Creative Solutions for Greater Access

Community Concierge Care, LLC (“C3 Cares”) is transforming how primary care is delivered by bringing healthcare directly into the communities where people live.
 

C3 Cares operates nurse-led, place-based primary care clinics embedded within public and affordable housing communities across Washington, D.C. Our model removes traditional barriers to care by making high-quality healthcare convenient, accessible, trusted, and connected to the everyday lives of the people we serve.
 

Led by Dr. Erin Athey, DNP, FNP-BC, C3 Cares was built on decades of experience in community health, clinical practice, education, and community-engaged scholarship. We combine primary care, prevention, chronic disease management, behavioral health coordination, care management, health education, and community partnerships to address both medical needs and the factors that influence health outside of the healthcare system.
 

Our goal extends beyond treating illness. C3 Cares seeks to improve health outcomes, strengthen relationships between residents and healthcare providers, and advance health justice by ensuring that exceptional care is available where it is needed most.

OUR CARE MODEL

A Model Built Around Our Communities

C3 Cares provides high-touch, community-based primary care through neighborhood clinics located within D.C. housing communities in Wards 5, 6, 7, and 8.

​

Our clinics provide residents with convenient access to services including:

​

  • Primary and preventive care

  • Same-day and walk-in care

  • Chronic disease management

  • Laboratory testing and point-of-care testing

  • Blood pressure and health screenings

  • Vaccinations and immunization services

  • Sexual health, HIV/STI prevention, testing, and treatment

​

Our clinics are available throughout the week for labs, blood pressure checks, health education, referrals, care management, and clinical visits with a nurse practitioner either onsite or through telehealth. This continuous neighborhood presence allows residents to receive support before a health concern becomes a crisis and provides a trusted place to return for ongoing care.

​

C3 Cares also extends care beyond our permanent clinic locations through mobile and pop-up health services, vaccination clinics, screenings, community events, and partnerships with housing and community-based organizations throughout Washington, D.C.

  • Medication management

  • Behavioral health screening and care coordination

  • Care management and population health programs

  • Health education and navigation to community resources

  • Telehealth and virtual clinical support

  • Community health events and outreach

COLLABORATIVE WORKS

Connected, Community-Centered Care

Healthcare does not happen in isolation. C3 Cares works collaboratively with housing organizations, behavioral health providers, community-based organizations, health plans, pharmacies, academic institutions, and other local service providers to create a more coordinated system of care around the residents we serve.
 

By embedding healthcare within the existing community infrastructure, C3 Cares can identify needs earlier, provide warm connections to additional services, follow residents across the continuum of care, and help close gaps that are often missed in traditional healthcare settings.
 

Our model is simple: bring the healthcare system closer to the patient rather than expecting the patient to navigate the healthcare system alone.

TECHNOLOGY& POPULATION HEALTH

Technology That Strengthens Care

C3 Cares combines relationship-based community care with modern healthcare technology. Our electronic health record supports in-person and telehealth care, clinical documentation, population health management, and coordination across our care team.
 

We use health data and digital tools to identify care gaps, monitor chronic conditions, support preventive care, coordinate referrals, and proactively engage residents who may otherwise become disconnected from the healthcare system.
 

Technology strengthens our model, but relationships, accessibility, and community trust remain at its center.
