Who We Are
A regional healthcare consortium dedicated to improving access to affordable and reliable telecommunications services.
Since 2007, NETC has helped over 1,400 healthcare sites in New England secure essential subsidies through the Healthcare Connect Fund (HCF). These subsidies ensure that members have the reliable telecommunications infrastructure needed for effective patient care. To date, NETC has secured more than $100 million in funding, including $36 million last year alone.
Beyond funding, NETC provides 24/7 network management to keep systems running smoothly, cloud integration for secure data access—an increasingly vital service in healthcare—and expert technical support to resolve issues quickly. Our mission is to empower healthcare providers with affordable, high-performance networks that enable uninterrupted care and foster collaboration across communities.

Our Testimonials
My organization has been receiving federal subsidy on our network equipment and services through the Healthcare Connect Fund since 2017. NETC helped us save 65% on our IT networking budget, which, in part, is enabling us to open more sites and serve more families. NETC takes care of all the application needs as well as paying our internet providers. I plan to have all our sites moved over to take advantage of subsidies.
