Why We Do It

• OUR MISSION

Our goal is simple. We work to make hospitals and health systems more economically sustainable, so they can maintain independence and keep care local.

Economic Sustainability

We’re helping hospitals and health systems turn a profit margin, maintain an appropriate cost structure, and positively impact the bottom line.

Maintain Local Independence

By providing economic stability, we enable hospitals and health systems to maintain independent governance. At the local level, you know your hospital and community partners, so it should be you making the final decisions.

Provide Care Locally

By turning a profit margin and maintaining cost structure, we can keep your care local. Our work today makes local care tomorrow possible.

• MEMBER TESTIMONIAL

“The collaborative is designed to provide a third option for small independent hospitals and health systems. Hospitals had two options - struggle to stay independent on their own, without cost savings of scale, or become part of an academic or regional medical center and give up control. NECHN now gives them a third option. Joining the collaborative offers community hospitals enhanced bargaining power and cost savings enjoyed by much larger organizations, while allowing them to stay independent and focused on the needs of their local community.”
