MedTrainer is now CNECT’s trusted partner for learning, credentialing, and compliance solutions, addressing a critical need among Community Health Centers (CHCs) to improve operational efficiency and revenue cycle.
LAS VEGAS, Sept. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- MedTrainer, the all-in-one workforce compliance platform, is a trusted partner of CNECT, a leading national group purchasing organization (GPO), to address a critical need among community health centers (CHCs) to improve and maintain credentialing, privileging, and regulatory compliance through operational efficiency.
"Community health centers represent the very best of our healthcare system," said Steve Gallion, MedTrainer CEO.
"They embody resilience, compassion, and innovation — caring for the most vulnerable patients at the most challenging reimbursement-to-care ratios in healthcare. MedTrainer is humbled to be recognized as a partner who can support their collective mission and help these critical organizations thrive. We are excited to be part of the CHC and FQHC journey."
Through the partnership, CNECT's members, which include more than 950 CHCs, will benefit from reduced costs on MedTrainer solutions. There is no cost to be a CNECT member, and as the exclusive GPO partner of the National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC), CNECT contributes a portion of its administrative fees to NACHC's critical national advocacy efforts.
"MedTrainer delivers an integrated solution for learning, compliance, and credentialing. Their offering aligns well with our mission to deliver trusted, cost-effective tools to community health centers," said Sparkle Barnes, President of CNECT. We are excited to introduce a new compliance and credentialing contract category that brings enhanced value, operational efficiency, and innovative solutions tailored to the needs of community health centers."
At this year's NACHC Community Health Institute in Chicago, community health leaders from across the country gathered to celebrate the vital role health centers play. In the keynote, NACHC's President and CEO, Kyu Rhee, reaffirmed the collective strength of CHCs, sharing the following sentiment: "We are the best, most resilient, and most innovative part of the health system. We are a movement. We don't retreat. We pivot and adapt to meet the challenge. We don't stand still. We meet the moment running to meet the challenges." This spirit of adaptability and innovation reflects the very mission behind CNECT choosing MedTrainer as a trusted partner. Together, they are equipping health centers with the tools and support they need to streamline compliance, accelerate credentialing, and free up valuable time and resources so providers can focus on what matters most — delivering high-quality care to their communities.
