WellLink is a family of brands working together to strengthen health and well-being across our communities. We bring people, organizations, and ideas together to create solutions that make care better, more accessible, and more affordable.
WellLink is a convener, influencer and innovator impacting medical, social, and economic health for the benefit of the communities we serve.
We connect healthcare and community partners, spark collaboration, and drive initiatives that fortify our healthcare system, strengthen social supports, and contribute to economic vitality — all for the well-being of the communities we serve.
The Center for Health Affairs, CHAMPS Group Purchasing, and The Essentials Group have united under the WellLink brand family, bringing their history, expertise, and trusted relationships together to create a stronger, more connected platform for advancing health and well-being. Our work has grown far beyond the scope of our legacy brands, and we needed a name that reflects who we are today — a connector of people, organizations, and ideas working to improve health and well-being in many forms. WellLink better captures our mission, reach, and collaborative spirit.
Our roots go back more than a century through The Center for Health Affairs, which formed in 1914. Over time, our work has expanded and evolved — but our commitment to community has never wavered.
We are headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio — a recognized epicenter of healthcare innovation — with partnerships and initiatives that reach across Northeast Ohio and throughout the United States.
WellLink has three interconnected divisions:
WellLink Health Alliance is dedicated to fostering physical, mental, and emotional well-being through advocacy, education, and community impact initiatives.
WellLink Group Purchasing is committed to supporting the economic well-being of organizations by connecting cost-effective, high-quality goods and services to a wide range of industries.
WellLink Innovations will push the boundaries of what is possible in healthcare solutions to help organizations in healthcare and beyond to strengthen and advance their businesses in a competitive, rapidly evolving environment.
Each division has a distinct focus, but they share resources, expertise, and relationships to create powerful, connected solutions.
We focus on opportunities that advance medical, social, and economic health, align with our mission, and have potential for meaningful community impact. Collaboration, innovation, and measurable results are at the core of every decision.

No. We’re still the same team, under the same leadership. The decision to launch a new brand was a long time in the making, and a decision our leadership and boards agreed was our best foot forward as one united brand.
Yes. We are still a hospital association and we represent the link between our hospitals and the community. Our goal is to serve as a healthcare advocacy organization focused on well-being from a holistic approach.
No. You’ll work with the same contacts, on the same projects you were previously working together on. Our new brand reflects who we were already becoming and our core programs remain the same.
