Virginia Business Coalition on Health (VBCH)

 

The Virginia Business Coalition on Health is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization made up of member businesses which have a stake in the health and welfare of their employees. VBCH is a "mixed-model" coalition, which means that our members represent purchasers, also know as employers, as well as providers of health care, such as hospitals, health plans, consultants and pharmaceutical companies.

No One Employer Can Do It Alone!

The VBCH members companies, through the direction of our the Board of Directors and Staff, bring a unified voice on hospital quality and patient safety, health plan performance and wellness in the workplace. VBCH members enjoy networking and education as well as a variety of 'value-added' and 'value-based-purchasing" member benefits.

VBCH member businesses range in size from 2 to 18,000 employees and together they represent 180,000 covered lives. VBCH is a member of the National Business Coalition on Health (www.nbch.org), which represents 70 coalitions nationwide and 40 Million covered lives.

Today

Beginning in 2005, the coaltiion became the Virginia as the Virginia Business Coalition on Health recognizing that more members, more hospitals and more plans would unify and amplify our message, "higher quality and lower cost" ...the foundation for "value-based purchasing"

 

History

The Hampton Roads Health Coalition came to fruition in 1983 through the efforts of a core group of employers who felt powerless when purchasing the "right" health benefit for their employees. The coalition grew and the rest is history!
