AHHC of NC Announces Our Partnership Renewal with NCHA Strategic Partners

The Association for Home & Hospice Care of North Carolina (AHHC of NC) is pleased to announce the renewal of its longstanding partnership with NCHA Strategic Partners, continuing a relationship that has delivered meaningful value to home care, home health, and hospice providers across the state since 2018. Through this partnership, AHHC of NC members gain access to the same array of business partners and purchasing power available to NCHA's network of more than 130 hospitals and health systems statewide.

At the core of this renewed agreement is continued access to Vizient, the nation's largest member-owned health care services company, offering supply cost management and performance improvement opportunities across more than 2,200 supplier and distributor agreements. Members can realize meaningful savings on medical supplies, dietary services, and cell phone plans — cost categories that matter now more than ever as providers navigate tightening reimbursement and rising operating expenses.

This renewal reflects a shared commitment between AHHC of NC and NCHA to strengthening the continuum of care across acute and post-acute settings in North Carolina. By extending this collaboration, AHHC reaffirms its mission to provide resources, education, advocacy, and leadership to its member agencies — ensuring that home health, hospice, palliative care, personal care, service providers have the tools they need to operate efficiently while focusing on what matters most: delivering high-quality care to patients and families across the continuum. AHHC members can learn more about accessing these benefits by visiting  www.ncha.org/ahhcnc for information on how to start taking advantage of these many benefits.

MCAG's Settlement Recovery Service

NCHA Strategic Partners is pleased to announce that MCAG is joining our portfolio of value-added services. MCAG is an expert in recovering money due from class action settlement funds. Settlement opportunities account for billions of dollars in available funds annually. Regrettably, businesses large and small are often denied the money they are entitled to because they don’t have experience negotiating with claims administrators or preparing the required documentation, data sets, or forms. AHHC Members are invited to explore this opportunity via AHHC's partnership with NCHA Strategic Partners.

"Having known and worked with Steve Lawler closely for over a decade, AHHC is proud to have been chosen as the care continuum partner of NCHA to expand these benefits to providers of hospice, palliative care, home health and home care services. I am proud to be the first post-acute care member to sit on the NCHA Strategic Partners Board of Directors. In turn, the AHHC Board of Directors has appointed Jody Fleming, VP of NCHA Strategic Partners to serve as the second affiliate board member. This will continue to strengthen the partnership between NCHA and AHHC that will ultimately benefit our members."
