Celebrating Year 1981
By 1981, GHC-SCW had reached a major turning point. Membership grew to 15,500 members, demonstrating strong community trust in a new approach to health care. As the area’s first HMO, GHC-SCW offered a prevention-focused care model that stood apart at the time. That same year, the Cooperative reached its first financial break-even point, confirming the Cooperative’s success.
Why it matters: Financial stability proved that the Cooperative model works.
