Overview
• Triad HealthCare Network is a new Clinically Integrated
Network that has formed in the Piedmont Triad area.

physicians, independent physicians, and Cone Health into a
more clinically and financially aligned business partnership
to improve access, improve quality and lower costs.
• THN seeks to better prepare its members for the inevitable
changes to the nation’s health care system driven by either
or both government and market-based reform.
