Overview
Mission
The healthcare council is a membership organization dedicated to helping members reduce costs, encouraging co-operative working relationships, and promoting quality healthcare in our region. The vision is to meet the healthcare challenges of tomorrow by working together today.
What it reported doing in 2024
The healthcare council is a 501(c)(3) organization consisting of hospitals and allied health care facilities, associations and educational institutions located in the mid-atlantic region. The purpose of the healthcare council is to provide for members "strategic and business advantages" that no single institution or system can efficiently or economically develop alone. Divisions of specific activity have been formed to carry on the ever-changing tasks at hand. These divisions develop information and improve performance using cooperative networking meetings, surveys, group discussion and analysis and continuing education programs. The aim of the healthcare council's wholly owned subsidiary, sharesource is to serve its membership in the promotion of programs and services that will enhance the members' ability to operate their organizations successfully and cost effectively with integrity and competency.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 97% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
