The Center for Health Affairs

As the leading advocate for Northeast Ohio hospitals, 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 faced by the region’s healthcare providers. The Center’s efforts focus on areas that benefit member hospitals from a regional approach, including healthcare workforce; emergency preparedness; public policy and advocacy; finance and reimbursement; and community initiatives. And because of its business affiliations with The Essentials Group, CHAMPS Group Purchasing and CHAMPS Oncology, The Center has the resources to provide a broad level of professional services to its members. The Center, located in downtown Cleveland, is proud to represent 36 member hospitals in nine counties.
