Comprehensive Community Action Program Names Chris Mansfield as Chief Executive Officer

Comprehensive Community Action Program (CCAP), one of the largest community action programs in Rhode Island, is excited to announce the appointment of Chris Mansfield as its new Chief Executive Officer, effective January 2025. Chris Mansfield succeeds Joanne McGunagle, who served in the role for 45 years. The board is confident that Chris’s leadership will further the organization’s mission to fight the war on poverty.

With over 30 years of experience at Comprehensive Community Action Program, Chris Mansfield most recently served as CCAP’s Vice President of Family Development, expanding CCAP’s New Opportunity Homes, RI Works State Partnership, Learn to Earn Program, Donation Exchange, and more. He also served as CCAP’s Safety Director, oversaw the Environment of Care Committee, and supervised the Maintenance Department.

“For those who know him, Chris is an accomplished leader and a huge asset to the agency. Chris brings decades of service and dedication to fighting the war on poverty, collaborating with community partners, and maximizing funding for programs that help people each day. The Board of Directors wants to congratulate Mr. Mansfield on his new role, and we pledge to partner with him and his administrative team. We are hopeful in this decision and look forward to CCAP’s successful growth in the future,” said Bob Robillard Jr., LMHC, Chair of CCAP’s Board of Directors.

“It is truly an honor to step into the role of CEO following Joanne’s remarkable 45-year tenure. Her leadership and dedication have left a lasting mark on both this organization and the state of Rhode Island. I recognize her tremendous impact, and I am committed to picking up where she left off—continuing to grow the existing programs that have been so vital to our community,” said Chris Mansfield.

With Chris Mansfield’s leadership, Comprehensive Community Action Program is well-positioned to build on its rich history of service while advancing new initiatives. As the organization expands its programs and vital services, it will continue to meet the growing needs of Rhode Island’s most vulnerable populations.

Coming Soon: CCAP Warwick Health Center

We are thrilled to announce the grand opening of our new Warwick Health Center at 206 Buttonwoods Avenue in Warwick. The ribbon cutting ceremony took place on Wednesday, April 3rd, 2024, and was a momentous occasion, with distinguished guests including Senator Reed, Senator Whitehouse, Mayor Picozzi, and Speaker Shekarchi.

Our new Warwick Health Center responds to the community’s overwhelming demand for patient care. With our previous Warwick facility operating with two providers, adding a third provider at the existing site still left schedules at total capacity, underscoring the critical need for increased healthcare access. The new building will accommodate a fourth provider, enhancing the center’s capacity to serve the community’s healthcare needs.

Key Services:

CCAP’s Warwick Health Center is committed to providing comprehensive and accessible healthcare services. The new facility will offer services, including but not limited to Family Medicine, Integration of Behavioral Health in Primary Care, Chronic Disease Management, Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT), and various health screening services. The opening reinforces CCAP’s dedication to meeting the diverse healthcare needs of the community.

Community Impact:

Community Health Centers play a pivotal role in increasing access to primary care by eliminating barriers such as cost, lack of insurance, distance, and language. CCAP has been at the forefront of providing Rhode Island residents with comprehensive healthcare services for decades. “The new facility not only represents a physical expansion but signifies our commitment to providing high-quality, patient-centered care,” stated Joanne McGunagle, CCAP CEO and President. “We are excited about the positive impact this will have on our community, and we look forward to continuing to serve as a trusted family health provider.”
