ABOUT
We are a coalition of leaders from across the healthcare industry dedicated to achieving a healthcare system built on high-quality, cost-effective care. We identify, interrogate and uplift innovative healthcare solutions, focusing on strategies that plan sponsors can implement to improve employee outcomes while reducing healthcare spending.
We’re led by a diverse group of industry stakeholders whose perspectives on the healthcare system inform our pursuit of effective, practical solutions addressing the urgent crises of cost and care facing employers, clinicians and patients. We’re more than a network. We amplify challenges to the industry’s traditional power structures. We advocate for a realignment of incentives to create a system that works for the people who pay for and receive care.
We’re in conversation with thought leaders and system disruptors who’ve had enough of the status quo of rising healthcare costs. Among many stakeholder groups, we want to hear from:
-
Plan sponsors (CFOs and HR leaders): Employers who want to demand greater transparency and accountability from their current brokers and transition their health plans toward more cost-effective systems with better value for patients.
-
Innovative vendors: Benefit partners, health tech entrepreneurs and other innovators with solutions that could revolutionize the healthcare transformation.
-
True fiduciary advisors: Brokers and consultants committed to transparency and want to align their fees with the actual results they deliver for clients.
-
Clinicians: Healthcare providers looking for a system that rewards excellence and combats burnout by focusing on patient outcomes over administrative volume.
