About Us
Comagine Health® is a national nonprofit working to improve health and strengthen the systems that shape health care. For more than four decades, we’ve partnered with public agencies, health plans, providers, researchers and communities — as a neutral, trusted partner focused on measurable, sustainable improvement. We unite data intelligence, clinical rigor, community insight and applied research to support sustainable improvements throughout the systems shaping health care.
Our Vision:
Health care reimagined, together.
Our Mission:
Together, with our partners, we work to improve health and to create a better health care system so that people and communities will flourish.
What We're Built On
Four commitments, for every engagement
Community-Rooted Insight
Comagine Health works where communities are, building the trust and understanding that makes lasting change possible. Our work is shaped by local knowledge, not imposed upon it.
Data-Powered Intelligence
Good decisions in health care require good information. We turn complex health and social data into clarity — revealing patterns, informing strategy and grounding every recommendation in evidence.
Clinical Excellence
Rigor isn’t a differentiator unless it’s grounded in practice. We bring evidence-based clinical expertise shaped by decades of working directly inside health care systems.
Integrated Partnerships
The most complex challenges in health care don’t yield to single disciplines. We bring capabilities together in ways most organizations cannot, creating solutions that are stronger for the whole.
Our Story
Decades of experience, one purpose.
Comagine Health’s roots reach back to the early 1970s, when the federal government established locally governed organizations to review the quality and appropriate use of care delivered through Medicare and Medicaid. HealthInsight grew from peer review organizations in Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon and Utah. Qualis Health served as Washington State’s peer review organization, adding its first Medicaid contract in 1975 and expanding into end-stage renal disease work through the Northwest Renal Network in 1978.
In 2018, Qualis Health and HealthInsight came together to form Comagine Health, combining more than four decades of experience improving health care into a single organization.
Today, we partner with federal and state agencies, health plans, providers and communities across the country, staying rooted in the regional relationships and local knowledge that shaped us from the beginning.
Our Partners
Trusted across the health care system
Our partners include federal, state and local government agencies, health plans, providers, foundations and research organizations — among them the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, the National Institute on Drug Abuse, Pew Charitable Trusts and Medicaid agencies throughout the U.S.
How We Work
Five practices, one approach
Whatever the engagement, the work draws on five connected practices — Health Data Strategy & Infrastructure, Analytics, Reporting & Transparency, Health System Improvement, Research & Evaluation and Care Management — guided by the same principles: neutral convening, evidence-guided decisions, local context and relationships, and clinical rigor with high-need populations. Four decades of this work have built particular depth in areas where the stakes run highest, from behavioral and maternal health to Medicaid and quality improvement.
Our People
Led by people who’ve done the work
Comagine’s teams come from clinical practice, public health, data science, policy and community health — leadership shaped by the systems we serve.
