The National Institute for Health Care Management (NIHCM) was incorporated in 1993 by a group of forward-thinking health plan CEOs under the leadership of Founding President and CEO Nancy Chockley. In 1998, NIHCM reorganized to maintain the LLC while launching the NIHCM Foundation. From its original mission of partnering with the federal government to create brighter futures for women and children, the NIHCM Foundation has expanded its work to improve care for all by building the evidence base for policies on a wide range of issues.
The NIHCM LLC is a strategy group for CEOs to discuss and analyze the rapidly changing health care environment. The NIHCM health plan CEOs have a combined revenue of almost $400 billion and insure nearly 40 percent of commercially insured Americans. They curate strategy sessions for their Board of Directors, their Advisory Board, and key thought leaders that identify and explore cutting-edge issues in health care, foster collaboration, and inspire and facilitate action.
In addition to supporting the work of the NIHCM Foundation, NIHCM LLC is committed to playing a positive role in the community through charitable giving to improve the health and well-being of vulnerable Americans. Their donations place particular emphasis on women, children, mental health, and the social determinants of health, which are also historical focus areas for the NIHCM Foundation. In 2024, they will support: Ayuda, Borromeo Housing, Calvary Women’s Services, Generation Hope, Horton’s Kids, Miriam's Kitchen, My Sister's Place, Sasha Bruce Youth Network, SMYAL, Street Sense, The Trevor Project, and UNICEF.
