In 2013, MSH changed from a Limited Company to a Community Interest Company (CIC); with the aims of providing quality health care services for local communities in West London. As such, MSH opened a wellbeing centre for private patients in Angel. The centre employed staff who delivered male grooming and massage services, and worked in partnership with psychotherapists who would hire the counselling room in the centre. When MSH became a CIC in 2013, it was also awarded the chlamydia screening coordination role for all of three boroughs in West London (Kensington and Chelsea, Hammersmith and Fulham, and Westminster).

However MSH decided to adopt a nurse led model as opposed to traditional home care providers who use carers. Here, every community-based client has a named nurse who delivers his or her services. MSH researched the effectiveness of a nurse-led care model, which had been implemented in Amsterdam, and it indicated that although this model is expensive in the short-term, in the long-term it is more cost effective as it prevents deterioration with health and wellbeing, which in turn reduces hospital admissions.
