MACHC — The Organization
- The Mid-America Coalition on Health Care (MACHC) is a multi-disciplinary organization of employers, insurance carriers and providers focused on promoting the health and well-being of current and future employees and their families in the greater Kansas City area.
- MACHC is recognized for bringing together related expertise and experience toward the goal of developing community-wide solutions for containing health care costs while improving the health and well-being of current and future employees.
- Our members include employers such as Sprint, Hallmark and JE Dunn, insurance carriers such as Blue Cross and United Healthcare, and providers such as St. Luke’s Health System, University of Kansas Hospital and Clay-Platte Primary Care Physicians.
MACHC — Our Approach, Goals, Recognized Thought-Leadership
- MACHC drives its successes through multi-disciplinary collaborative approaches that include public-private partnerships and involvement of employers, health plans, physicians, academia, public health and related associations.
- The overarching goal for the coalition is the institution of positive incremental, sustainable and replicable change. This is accomplished through education and awareness building and implementation of actionable best practices.
- By bringing resources to the table that employers may not typically seek out, MACHC offers a trusted and proven record of successes that result in educated and empowered stakeholders who understand wellness and prevention and generate community-wide solutions.
- MACHC is recognized by key public and private health organizations, including the CDC, Partnership for Prevention, American Psychiatric Association (APA) and the National Business Coalition on Health, as a successful model of a true public-private partnership. This has resulted in:
- Selection by CDC to beta-test the Health ScoreCard (Gateway Hypertension project), an employer tool to help develop a work plan to improve its programs and policies.
- A variety of successful projects which have been published in peer-review journals.
- Invitations to speak and share results and processes at national conferences.
- Based on its proven record of successes, MACHC acts as a catalyst/conduit/ facilitator for bringing nationally recognized thought leaders to Kansas City to interact with MACHC members and providing venues that act as a "test site" for exchange of ideas and issues to inform and guide programs for improving health outcomes and reducing costs.
