GPBGH offers two types of memberships: Employer and Affiliate.

Employer membership is for any employer organization that is corporately based or has a significantly employed population in our service area. Our service area includes the Philadelphia five-county region (Philadelphia, Bucks, Montgomery, Chester, and Delaware Counties), the State of Delaware, and Southern New Jersey (Camden, Burlington, Gloucester, Salem, Cumberland, Atlantic and Cape May Counties).

Affiliate membership is open to organizations that do not participate as employers but provide services related to employee health and health benefits and have an interest in supporting GPBCH’s mission.

Visit our Member List Page to view our full list of current employer and affiliate members.

Employer Membership

Employer membership is available to any organization that is headquartered in, or has workforce in, the GPBCH service area. An HR, benefits or well-being representative should be the main point of contact for the organization’s membership.

Affiliate Membership

Affiliate membership does not require the organization to be headquartered within the GPBCH service area. Examples include: consultants, insurance brokers, vendors, health insurers, health plans, health care providers, pharmaceutical companies, and other health care organizations.

Healthy employees create an engaged workforce and employers have the ability to influence health outcomes and benefits spending.
