Peak Health Alliance
The Peak Health Alliance is a health care purchasing cooperative with the goal of reducing health care premiums, while maintaining local and high quality care, through the power of community collaboration. Peak was able to reduce premiums in Summit County, CO by 20% and we hope to reduce premiums in the Southwest Health Alliance region by 5-10%. Our goal is to have a Peak Plan available to individuals, employers, and self-insured groups by January 2021.
