How We Do It

⬥ SHARED SERVICES

Through shared services, we bring the power of a large health system's scale to independent hospitals.

Our member hospitals collaborate to enhance patient care while simultaneously improving financial performance, clinical resourcing, workforce solutions, and executive advisement. We strategically invest in services and products that are shared across our entire alliance network. By leveraging the power of system resources, North Star enhances healthcare at the local level, ensuring that even small, rural hospitals can access quality medical services and support. This collaboration results in improved patient care, optimized operations, and stronger financial health for community healthcare providers.

⬥ OPERATOR'S PERSPECTIVE

Bridging care and financial sustainability with proven expertise from experienced board members and partners.

We view healthcare from an operator’s perspective, ensuring that our services and solutions enhance patient access to care while also benefiting our members’ financial health for long-term sustainability. Our board members and partners have worked in facilities just like yours. We have captured our collective experience and pragmatic approach in tools and processes that are proven to deliver results.

⬥ EDUCATION

We believe in the future leaders of independent hospitals and health systems

We aim to educate leaders, board members, and both clinical and non-clinical staff. Our collaborative roundtables facilitate the sharing of knowledge within the Alliance and incorporate insights from healthcare leaders and alliances across the country.
