WellLink Health Alliance, building on a period of sustained growth, expanding partnerships, and increasing influence, has announced an expansion of its membership model to include a broader range of organizations committed to advancing health, well-being, and community impact. This evolution reflects WellLink’s role as a dynamic cross-sector convener that connects healthcare providers, community organizations, innovators, and leaders to address complex challenges in today’s healthcare landscape. Previously focused primarily on hospitals and health systems, WellLink now welcomes allied health organizations, educational and nonprofit institutions, associate organizations such as professional services firms and technology companies, and individual members.

The expanded membership also features a more accessible dues structure designed to reduce barriers and enable more organizations to benefit from WellLink’s tools, insights, and collaboration opportunities. Brian Lane, president and CEO of WellLink, said that the expansion both reflects the alliance’s growth and accelerates its mission. He emphasized that the broader membership allows more voices to contribute to advancing healthcare and community initiatives while strengthening connections across the continuum of care. Under Lane’s leadership, WellLink has established itself as a trusted connector, linking organizations to data, advocacy, purchasing power, innovation, and each other.

Membership provides access to margin-enhancing tools, policy influence at local, state, and national levels, opportunities for cross-sector collaboration, and visibility as a leader shaping the future of healthcare. Daniel Lettenberger-Klein, executive director of WellLink Health Alliance, noted that membership often pays for itself financially, but the strategic, reputational, and collaborative benefits are what drive long-term value. He explained that the program allows organizations to join a thriving ecosystem focused on measurable impact in communities nationwide.
The expanded model offers tailored benefits for each membership type. Hospitals and health systems gain access to regional health data for benchmarking, advocacy, and innovation opportunities. Allied health organizations can leverage operational tools and integrate more deeply with referral networks. Educational and nonprofit members access workforce pipelines and research opportunities, while associate and individual members benefit from leadership development, collaboration, and market visibility aligned with WellLink’s innovation and impact agenda.
Among the first organizations to join under the expanded model is the YMCA of Greater Cleveland, demonstrating interest from community organizations focused on improving health outcomes. Timothy Hilk, president and CEO of the YMCA of Greater Cleveland, said that joining WellLink provides meaningful collaboration opportunities across healthcare and community networks and looks forward to advancing regional health initiatives together. Beyond membership, WellLink also offers participation in its growing Group Purchasing program, free to join, providing cost savings, operational efficiencies, and access to a nationwide network serving over 28,500 member locations. These initiatives highlight WellLink’s expanding impact and multiple pathways for organizations to engage with its ecosystem.
