The Southern Atlantic Healthcare Alliance (SAHA) was established in 2004 to nurture collaborative relationships among member hospitals in order to improve the quality of health care. Our mission is to support and strengthen our members. We do this by facilitating networking and information dissemination, and by providing educational opportunities and volume aggregation to drive cost savings. We focus on five key factors:
- Member Support
- Networking
- Cost Savings
- Education
- Information Sharing
In 2010, the Board of Directors, comprised of the Chief Executive Officers of each member facility, added two new emphases: Innovation and Solution Orientation. These problem-solving approaches will help hospitals deal successfully with changing health care imperatives and economic conditions.
Partnerships for Success
Through strategic partnerships with outstanding health care, clinical, educational, and financial management organizations, SAHA offers its member hospitals professional opportunities and support that many institutions could not attain on their own in a time- or cost-effective manner. Similarly, we negotiate contracts so that our members can achieve significant savings through collective buying.
