HPC EducationManager centralizes continuing education spend under HPC’s oversight, leveraging collective purchasing power, trusted vendor partnerships, and deep industry expertise to deliver measurable time and cost savings, averaging 10% annual net savings for hospitals and health systems.
Supported by the HPC S.M.A.R.T.

The ECU Health system comprises 1,708 beds across an academic medical center with two campuses; a teaching hospital for the Brody School of Medicine at East Carolina University; eight community hospitals; and numerous outpatient facilities, home health, hospice and wellness centers.
