RELYING ON THE COMMUNITY FOR ASSISTANCE In an effort to build national and community-based partnerships, HCFA is creating the Alliance Network, which consists of about 100 national, state, and local organizations that serve as channels of information on Medicare+Choice program activities and materials.
