About Us

More Than a Parent Company

Community health providers are incredibly crucial to the health and well-being of all communities. However, many face operational and financial challenges that make survival difficult. By partnering under Brightli, organizations are able to do more than just survive the tumultuous operating environment. They can leverage Brightli's resources to enhance care, collaborate with experts across the Midwest, and take smart risks that allow for innovation, ultimately exceeding client needs. Together, we can offer more services, serve more people, and save more lives.

While we are a parent company that offers administrative and system supports, we also are the driver of the future and long-term sustainability of the community health our communities so deperately need.
