While our business model might sound similar to a trade association, Medical Alley is more robust. Rather than advocate for a specific industry, we advocate for broad health initiatives and innovation with the goal of transforming care. Our community spans all sectors of the healthcare industry—giving us credibility with legislators looking for cross-sector solutions and economic development. In short, Medical Alley is a think tank, business accelerator, professional network, legislative advocate, recruiting resource, and source of news/insights—all in one.

Medical Alley partners with organizations worldwide that focus on health and healthcare. Partners (including all of their employees) get access to our cross-sector community, where they can attend partner-only events, get insights from the brightest minds in healthcare, and participate in legislative advocacy. Partners also get chances to transform healthcare by sharing their knowledge or working on our healthcare initiatives. And that is only the beginning—see the full list of services Medical Alley provides.

In addition to organizational partners, we also offer service and supplier partnerships. And, for healthcare professionals who are between job opportunities, we offer an in-transition membership. 

You do not need to be a partner to promote your business to our community. There are several ways—from sponsoring events or online content to investing in our key initiatives. Review our prospectus to learn more. Depending on your business, you may want to consider a service and supplier partnership.
