March 10, 2016 – The Independent Health Network, Inc. – IHN received its Healthcare Connect Fund Program funding letter this week from USAC. The letter allows us to begin network deployment which includes: site readiness, circuit orders, circuit implementation, router and product configurations for 21 hospitals and nine hub site locations.
We will be working on populating the IHN Board and plan to have our first full Board Meeting sometime this coming May. To stay true to its mission to maintain independence, the IHN Board will be staffed with your fellow peers from hospitals in Nebraska, Kansas and Iowa.
Expect some activity around your hospital this Spring. As we get more information on timelines, we will share those with IHN members and hub site locations.
