Welcome to the Pittsburgh Regional Health Initiative

The high cost of health care is forcing many businesses to choose between offering health insurance to employees and staying in business... and forcing individuals to choose between paying health insurance premiums and grocery bills.

There's a hidden cost, too: poor quality of care. If a person goes to a hospital for a basic procedure and gets an infection that could have been prevented, not only does the cost of a hospital stay rise, but the person's health and ability to work also suffer.

It doesn't have to be this way.

Over the past 10 years, the Pittsburgh Regional Health Initiative and its partners have proven that frontline healthcare professionals can improve patient outcomes, reduce healthcare costs and even increase healthcare employee satisfaction. We're showing the nation that improving the quality and safety of health care saves lives and scarce dollars.

We're excited to show you how.
