The Chamber's Healthcare Committee’s objective is to educate and assist Chamber members to control healthcare costs while maintaining exceptional healthcare quality for employees by making an impact on these factors: personal accountability, transparency, tort reform, consumerism and promotion of free-market policies promoting competition in healthcare.

Strategy: Serve Chamber members by providing legislators with the business community’s ideas and concepts and proactively affect the legislative process to enact policies that support lower costs while maintaining high quality healthcare.

Action Plan: Advocate pro-business positions on healthcare issues; develop and implement strategies to support these positions; and educate and engage members, policy makers and the community at large on the impact of healthcare issues.
