Health policies that encourage health and social integration can induce community-based organizations (CBOs) to adopt new ways of working from health care organizations, including their language, staffing patterns, and metrics. These changes can be explained by CBOs' perceptions that health care organizations may provide new sources of revenue. r While the welfare implications of these changes are not yet known, policymakers should consider balancing the benefits of professionalizing CBOs against the risks of medicalizing them. Context: Recent health policies incentivize health care providers to collaborate with community-based organizations (CBOs), such as food pantries and homeless shelters, to address patients' social determinants of health (SDOH). The perspectives of health care leaders on these policy changes have been studied, but the perspectives of CBO managers have not. Methods: Our research question was: How are CBOs in Massachusetts perceiving and responding to new Medicaid policies that encourage collaboration between health care organizations and CBOs? We interviewed 46 people in leadership positions at CBOs in Massachusetts for approximately an hour each. We analyzed these data abductively, meaning that we iterated between inductively coding transcripts and consulting existing theories and frameworks. Findings: We found evidence of a knowing-doing gap among CBOs. Even though CBOs value their distinctiveness and autonomy from health care, they
