Affordability in Action: Joining Forces to Lower Hospital Prices

As hospitals in New York City and beyond continue to raise prices that drive unsustainable healthcare spending, 32BJ Health Fund, 32BJ Labor Industry Cooperation Trust Fund (LICF) and its partners are demonstrating that change isn’t just possible, it’s happening.

💰 Groundbreaking direct contract negotiations to lower hospital prices
