Fairleigh Dickinson University recently joined the Healthcare Transformation Consortium, a collaborative effort of New Jersey independent health systems that share their expertise to improve health care.
FDU is the first non-health care organization to join HTC, with other members including Atlantic Health, CentraState Healthcare System, Holy Name Medical Center, Hunterdon Healthcare, RWJ Barnabas Health, Saint Peter’s Healthcare System and Valley Health System. The members collectively provide medical benefits to more than 120,000 employees and families in New Jersey.
By utilizing their collective size, information sharing and best practices, member organizations can offer employees and families enhanced choices for healthcare and manage and optimize benefit costs. The HTC also provides opportunities for clinical collaboration and innovation in health care delivery and training.
Atlantic Health CEO Saad Ehtisham welcomed them to the group.
“We are thrilled to welcome FDU as the first non-healthcare member to the Healthcare Transformation Consortium,” he said. “FDU’s arrival heralds an important milestone in HTC’s delivery of value and quality for employers of all types. The University’s engagement will enrich our collective efforts and advance our shared goals.”
FDU aims to be in the forefront of colleges and universities providing transformational opportunities that align with and address critical workforce needs, with particular emphasis on health sciences — under the new division of FDU Health — as well as health-related fields and career-focused offerings.
