It provides the following primary functions for its members: group purchasing, a health information exchange (WNC Data Link), quality improvement activities, and wellness projects. The Network began in 1995 to identify, explore and implement cost-effective, collaborative opportunities among the hospitals and health care systems serving western North Carolina.
