OpenAI Foundation commits $100M to Common Health Coalition for AI-driven care initiative

The OpenAI Foundation has announced a $100 million commitment to the Common Health Coalition, a national nonprofit that connects health systems, insurers, public health agencies, and community organizations to improve disease prevention and patient care. The grant launches the foundation’s AI for Civil Society and Philanthropy initiative, which aims to help organizations use AI to address pressing community needs. CHC will deploy AI to help healthcare and human services teams to reconnect patients with treatment, with an initial goal of doubling hepatitis C cure rates in Alabama, Illinois, Louisiana, and Massachusetts while reducing administrative burdens.
