Employers Health Coalition, Inc. (EHC) is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3)
organization founded in 1983 by nine Stark County employers to contain health
care costs within the community.
Employers Health has evolved into an extension of the benefits staff for many
of its members by performing five primary functions:
-
Educational Programming & Information Dissemination
-
Community Health Initiatives around Quality, Cost and Access to Health care Services
-
Legislative Monitoring and Lobbying
-
Value-Based Group Purchasing, Data Analysis and Benefits Design Consultation
-
Health and Productivity Management, Wellness and Population Health Management Strategies and Solutions
Employers Health provides members with products and services that help each
member organization maximize the value of not only its membership,
but also the benefits delivered to each organization’s employees.
In 1999, Employers Health launched a subsidiary, Employers Health Purchasing
Corporation (EHPC), to manage its group purchasing programs and government
relations activities. Prior to EHPC’s incorporation, membership
was open only to employers domiciled in select Northeast Ohio counties. Today,
Employers Health represents members with employees in all 50 states.
Today, EHPC represents more than 200 member organizations and spends nearly $700 million annually on benefits services. The organization also works to reform the health care industry through value-based benefit design consulting and pay-for-quality initiatives.
