Mission Statement
The Bucks and Montgomery County Schools Health Care Consortium consists of 12 school entities in Bucks and Montgomery Counties.

The purpose of the arrangement is for consortium members to group together to get the best price possible for health care and employee benefits while also focusing on collectively improving employee health and wellness, potentially leading to even greater cost savings.
