Credit Human joined HBCH about a year ago, and since then, our learning has skyrocketed. We’ve made connections across industries with employers and healthcare innovators, leading to better decisions about the benefits we offer to employees. HBCH board, staff, and members are fully committed to leveraging purchasing power to make constructive, fair structural change designed to rationalize the cost of healthcare for employees and their families. We’ll get this done faster when more thoughtful, committed organizations in the Houston area engage with HBCH to progress the work together.
