Illinois Community Care Hub Selects Cumulus

Cumulus Care, Inc. today announced that AgeOptions has selected the Cumulus platform to support Illinois Pathways to Health (ILPTH), a statewide Community Care Hub connecting older adults and individuals with chronic conditions to evidence-based programs and coordinated social care services.

Through this partnership, Cumulus will serve as the central technology platform for AgeOptions’ community-integrated health network, unifying group program delivery, care coordination, reporting, and partner collaboration into a single system.

With Illinois Pathways to Health, AgeOptions is working with its network of community-based organizations to align social care and falls-prevention and health promotion programs with healthcare payers and value-based care models. The Cumulus platform will support both evidence-based workshops and comprehensive care coordination workflows within a unified environment.

We’re at an inflection point where community-based organizations need infrastructure that supports both program delivery and payer-aligned care coordination, with modern interoperability and security as core requirements. Through Illinois Pathways to Health, we are building a statewide model that connects community-based services with healthcare partners in a more coordinated and accountable way. Cumulus gives us the foundation to scale that work, strengthen partnerships across our network, and demonstrate impact.

–Robert Mapes, VP of Health Collaborations & Innovations at AgeOptions

The implementation will support a wide range of capabilities, including:

• Statewide management of evidence-based workshops, including registration, attendance tracking, and outcomes measurement
• Public-facing program discovery and enrollment, with integrated surveys and participant engagement tools
• End-to-end care coordination workflows, including intake, assessment, referrals, and follow-up
• Real-time dashboards and reporting to support program oversight, performance monitoring, and funder requirements
• Standards-based interoperability, including HL7 and FHIR APIs, to enable integration with healthcare systems and electronic health records

By consolidating these functions into a single, secure, and HITRUST certified platform, AgeOptions will reduce administrative burden, improve data quality, and strengthen its ability to collaborate with community partners and healthcare organizations across Illinois.

AgeOptions is taking a forward-looking approach to building the infrastructure required for community-integrated health. They are not just modernizing technology, they are positioning themselves to thrive as a Community Care Hub, capable of partnering with healthcare systems, managing diverse funding streams, and delivering measurable outcomes at scale.

–John Byer, CEO of Cumulus

The engagement also supports AgeOptions’ transition away from its legacy technology platform and establishes a scalable foundation for future growth, including expanded payer partnerships and new funding opportunities.
