CMSA Philosophy
The foundation of case management is rooted in the belief that when individuals are supported in achieving their highest possible level of health, wellness, and functional independence, the benefits extend beyond the individual. Families, caregivers, communities, healthcare systems, and payers all experience improved outcomes. Through coordinated, person-centered, and evidence-based care, case management strengthens health outcomes, enhances quality of life, and promotes the responsible use of healthcare resources.

What We Do
Monthly Educational Meetings: We support excellence in case management by offering monthly educational meetings designed to strengthen professional standards, clinical competence, ethical practice, and interdisciplinary collaboration. These sessions provide timely, relevant education for case managers and healthcare professionals across the care continuum.
