The University HealthSystem Consortium

The University HealthSystem Consortium (UHC), formed in 1984, is an alliance of academic health centers situated mainly in the United States.  The mission of the University HealthSystem Consortium is to advance knowledge, foster collaboration, and promote change to help members succeed in their respective markets.  As a membership organization, UHC provides its 90 full members and 123 associate members with a variety of helpful resources aimed at improving performance levels in clinical, operational, and financial areas.
