Who is NCBCH?
North Carolina Business Coalition on Health (formerly NC Business Group on Health) was founded in 2010.
We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit coalition of employers and other key stakeholders
using our collective voice to impact the quality and cost of healthcare delivery systems
across North Carolina and the nation by:
Advocating – Creating a business community with a shared vision and message on matters of healthcare based on sound fiscal principles and quality standards.
Innovating – Seeking creative, common-sense solutions to improve the overall cost and quality of our healthcare delivery system.
Educating – Promoting health and wellness education, as well as provider transparency of
quality and outcomes to empower employees and all citizens of our state to make more informed decisions as healthcare consumers.
