Health Imperatives

Health Imperatives is a Massachusetts-based nonprofit health and human services organization that provides sexual and reproductive healthcare, WIC nutrition assistance, survivor services, behavioral health support, and programs for young parents and other high-need populations. Founded in 1977, the organization operates multiple clinics and service locations across Southeastern Massachusetts, including Greater Brockton, Plymouth and the South Shore, New Bedford and Wareham, and Cape Cod. Its healthcare activities include confidential sexual and reproductive health services, harm reduction, substance use disorder support, and HIV-related services, alongside shelter, advocacy, and recovery-oriented support for survivors of violence and trafficking. Unlike a biotech or pharmaceutical developer, Health Imperatives is a service-delivery organization rather than a drug development company, with revenue largely derived from grants, contributions, and program services.
