The Center for Health Affairs

With a rich history as the nation’s first regional hospital association and a mission to impact medical, social and economic health and well-being, The Center for Health Affairs convenes 37 hospital and healthcare organizations along with community partners across 10 counties in Northeast Ohio. With a dedicated and consistent history dating back over 100 years, The Center aims to enhance the effectiveness of the healthcare community and the health of the communities it serves by providing expertise, resources and solutions to address the challenges currently being faced by the region’s healthcare providers. The Center’s efforts focus on areas in which hospitals and their communities can benefit from a regional approach, including emergency preparedness; behavioral health; public policy and advocacy; finance and reimbursement; and social determinants of health. Through its business affiliates, CHAMPS Group Purchasing and The Essentials Group, The Center provides a broad level of professional services to its members. For more, visit neohospitals.org.
