MBGH Community Initiatives

For more than 45 years, MBGH has been a leader in providing innovative health benefit tools and solutions to support employer benefit strategies aimed at controlling costs and improving health. MBGH is committed to supporting community health initiatives by bringing together members of the business, hospital, physician, health plan, government and voluntary association sectors to support improved health and quality of care for all populations. 

Recently, MBGH began a campaign to promote Employer Actions to Ensure the Integrity of Evidence-Based Vaccine Science & Member Access. We encourage everyone to review our vaccine statement and customize this message to reflect your organization's brand, voice and values. Please share it.

The Alliance supported this effort through a press release which was published in a recent WisBusiness publication. Check it out. Together we can make an impact!

Pulse of the Purchaser Research Institute (PPRI)

MBGH invites employer members to participate in the recently launched PPRI, an expert panel where coalition employer members can confidentially share their perspectives on critical healthcare topics.

The first two projects will focus on mental health innovations and specialty drug pricing policy. Sign up by December 15th to receive more information about the opportunity to participate.

Panel members will receive:

• Early access to study findings and employer insights
• Monitary welcome kit
• Paid opportunities for research participation
