MHS Alliance Purchasing Services

Launched in July 2003, the MHS Alliance Purchsasing Serviceds is a collaborative effort between MHS Alliance, the Association of Brethren Caregivers and Friends Services for the Aging. The program is developed for retirement communities, nursing homes and other senior service providers belonging to the collaborating organizations.

Through this program, organizations gain buying power and recognize significant cost savings through access to national purchasing contracts. In addition, several contracts are honored for employees of participating organizations-offering a new employee benefit at no cost to the employer.

Membership is on a voluntary, one-year basis. Organizations choose the contracts that best meet their needs, and can become dormant or discontinue membership at any time.

Purchasing contracts include companies such as:

Sherwin Williams
Home Depot
Verizon Wireless
Oreck Vacuums
GE Appliances
Sysco (foodservice)
Durkan, Lees, Mohawk, etc. (carpeting)
Office Depot

Peace Church Risk Retention Group

Launched in January 2004, the Peace Church Risk Retention Group (PCRRG) is a joint venture among participating senior service members of MHS Alliance, the Association of Brethren Caregivers and Friends Services for the Aging.
This self-funded and self-governed insurance company offers its approximately 40 members relief from volatile general and professional liability insurance costs through greater management of risk. In addition, premiums are based on participant experience rather than that of a national pool of senior service providers.

Medical Expense Program

MHS Alliance sponsors the Medical Expense Program, a self-funded employee health benefits program developed in the mid-1980s by members of MHS Alliance (predecessor of MHS Alliance.) The Medical Expense Program gives organizations a measure of control over an unpredictable budget item.
The Medical Expense Program's success is founded on basic operating principles of trust and accountability among plan members, consensus in most decision-making, and careful risk management, including screening criteria and adequate reserves.

“The importance of what we are doing is making membership more meaningful and valuable. We are making members’ connections more intentional in terms of relating to each other and the larger church.”
