Health Care Management Organizations Divvy Up Territories

In 2003, New York state health care management associations began divvying up the state’s geography to better serve professionals who manage the business affairs of the state’s health care organizations. Market analysis data model

Each of the five health care associations had its own unique history and membership base, and each operated independently. The largest association, based on total membership, is the Healthcare Executives Coordinating Council (HECC). HECC covers the lower Hudson River basin metropolitan region, which includes the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, and Long Island. 

The four other associations—the Hudson Valley Health Executives Association (HVHEA), Metropolitan Health Administrators Association (MHAA), Woman’s Healthcare Network (WHN), and Healthcare Executives Club (HEC)—have smaller membership bases but serve much larger geographic regions. These organizations had studied the feasibility of consolidating service territories to form three newly reconstituted groups in 2002.
