North Carolina Business Group on Health
is now…
Welcome to the North Carolina Business Coalition on Health!
(Formerly North Carolina Business Group on Health)
At NCBCH, HR and benefit professionals from employers across North Carolina
from the Appalachian Mountains,
to the cities of the Piedmont,
to the beaches of the Coastal Plain
join together to
Advocate, Innovate and Educate
for a better healthcare delivery system!
As the employer voice in North Carolina advocating for a better healthcare delivery system, our coalition of employers seek to use their collective voice to influence decisions that impact the quality and cost of healthcare delivery systems in North Carolina. We also provide resources, education, advocacy, innovation and networking for our employer members seeking to improve the well-being of their workforce in the most effective, efficient, yet cost effective ways.
To achieve this goal, we also partner with other key healthcare stakeholders in North Carolina, as well as healthcare oriented suppliers and producers who may provide additional strategic resources, consultation and partnership for our members.

Forum
At our statewide “Forums”, held each year in the Spring and Fall, members and guests learn, collaborate and network on the latest employer healthcare issues, trends and innovations.
Localized lunches held in the summer provide great local networking and discussion on issues and “best practices”.
Webinars, roundtables, as well as national meetings and town halls in association with the National Alliance of Healthcare Purchaser Coalitions are also available.
See all events that are coming soon by visiting our Events Page.
