Iowa Healthcare Collaborative (IHC)

The Iowa Healthcare Collaborative (IHC) is a provider-led, patient-focused nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to sustainable healthcare transformation. Created in 2004 through a partnership between the Iowa Hospital Association (IHA) and the Iowa Medical Society (IMS), IHC uses a multi-stakeholder approach to bring together and engage providers, hospitals, payers, businesses, communities and government.
