As a constellation of world-class hospitals and healthcare providers within the Greater Boston area (and beyond), Partners is a lauded institution whose high visibility made it an easy target for local press, influencers, and policy makers whenever the local news cycle shifted to cost of care.

To shift the narrative away from only dollars and cents and towards the importance of quality, patient-centered care and medical innovation, we saw an opportunity to provide a singular outlet for the vast array of expert voices across the Partners network. We launched Connect with Partners both as a platform to respond to the local and national news cycle around healthcare and to disseminate the broader Partners POV through the voices and bylines of its internal experts.
