FG’s Consortium Leader Program helps healthcare organizations lead, manage, and grow successful Healthcare Connect Fund consortiums with the strategy, filing expertise, documentation, and lifecycle support needed to maximize value and reduce administrative burden.
Join healthcare network expert Jason Swain for a practical discussion on how healthcare organizations can move beyond a once-a-year filing approach and build a proactive, audit-ready HCF strategy. Attendees will learn where organizations commonly leave funding on the table, how to strengthen eligibility and documentation practices, and why alignment between Finance, IT, and Procurement is critical to long-term program success.
The session will also introduce a practical HCF framework and scorecard healthcare leaders can use to evaluate their current position, identify gaps, and strengthen both funding capture and audit readiness.
Attendees will learn how to:
Whether your organization participates individually or through a consortium, this session will provide actionable guidance for turning HCF from an administrative filing requirement into a more strategic component of your network and financial strategy.
Healthcare organizations rely on strong, secure, and cost-effective connectivity to support patient care, telehealth, cloud applications, EHR access, cybersecurity, and day-to-day operations. As network demands continue to grow, broadband and telecom costs are becoming a larger operational and financial challenge.
Becoming a consortium leader gives healthcare organizations the opportunity to support affiliated hospitals, clinics, rural providers, and community healthcare partners through a structured funding and network strategy.
With the right partner, consortium leadership can help participating providers access eligible Healthcare Connect Fund support while creating a more coordinated approach to network planning, vendor management, compliance, and infrastructure improvement.
FG helps make that possible.
Our team brings healthcare funding expertise, carrier and vendor knowledge, network strategy, documentation discipline, and long-term lifecycle support together in one program. FG is more than a filing partner. We help healthcare organizations network better.
FG helps consortium leaders identify eligible expenses, organize participant data, support filing requirements, and pursue available Healthcare Connect Fund support for qualifying broadband and network costs.
Managing a consortium requires significant coordination, documentation, deadlines, and communication. FG helps simplify the process so internal teams can stay focused on healthcare operations.
Healthcare Connect Fund participation requires accurate documentation and disciplined recordkeeping. FG supports consortium leaders with organized, audit-ready processes designed to reduce risk and improve confidence.
A consortium creates an opportunity to evaluate network spend, carrier relationships, service locations, resiliency, and modernization needs across a broader participant base. FG helps leaders see the bigger picture.
Participating providers benefit from access to funding expertise, strategic guidance, coordinated support, and a clearer path toward stronger, more sustainable connectivity.
Consortium leadership should create more than funding access. It should create a stronger, smarter, and more sustainable network strategy for participating healthcare providers.
Many competitors focus primarily on filing forms. FG takes a broader, more strategic approach.
We help consortium leaders understand what is being filed, where opportunities exist, what documentation is needed, and how funding can support larger network and business goals.
FG has deep experience supporting healthcare organizations, rural providers, and multi-site consortiums across complex funding and network environments.
Our process is designed to uncover eligible expenses, identify missed opportunities, and help organizations align network spend with available funding.
FG uses structured processes and proprietary tools to help organize data, manage documentation, track activity, and support accurate, consistent filing.
Compliance is built into the process from the start. FG helps consortium leaders maintain the documentation and oversight needed to support stronger audit readiness.
Because FG understands telecom, broadband, WAN, vendor management, and healthcare infrastructure, we help connect funding strategy to real operational priorities.
FG is independent and focused on helping healthcare organizations make informed decisions based on their needs, goals, and network environment.
Whether you are managing an existing consortium, considering becoming a consortium leader, or looking for a better partner to support your participants, FG can help you reduce complexity, improve compliance readiness, and create long-term value.
