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.
