Don't Take Our Word for It
My organization has been receiving federal subsidy on our network equipment and services through the Healthcare Connect Fund since 2017. You helped us save 65% on our IT networking budget, which, in part, is enabling us to open more sites and serve more families. You take care of all the application needs as well as paying our internet providers. I plan to have all our sites moved over to take advantage of subsidies.
Sharanjit Singh DIRECTOR OF IT
You made navigating the Healthcare Connect Fund program easy. Thanks to your expertise, we secured a 65% subsidy through the Healthcare Connect Fund, which has allowed us to control our infrastructure expenses and allocate more resources to patient care.
Shawn Burroughs CHIEF INFORMATION OFFICER
I previously worked at a health center that had been benefiting from subsidies through HealthConnect Networks for many years. When I transitioned to my current health center, continuing our partnership was a clear choice. Your support has streamlined program management, enabling significant cost savings that we could reinvest effectively. Handing over to my successor was seamless. I am excited to continue working with this team.
Cindy Figuerres CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER
You have all been so helpful and saved us quite a bit of money. When we first started, your team did a great job of explaining everything to me and walking me through the process!

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Healthcare Connect Fund (HCF) program?
The HCF program is a federal initiative that provides up to 65% subsidies on eligible broadband and network-related expenses for eligible healthcare providers.
Who qualifies for HCF subsidies?
Eligibility depends on your facility type, location, and how you’re connected. For a quick overview, you can find our eligibility checklist here. Or schedule a free consultation call where we’ll help you determine if your organization qualifies and how much you might be able to save.
What kinds of services and equipment are eligible?
Subsidies can apply to broadband, internet access, E-line, firewalls, routers, switches, and other core and edge network equipment. Check out a more detailed list of eligible items here.
Do I need to join a consortium to apply for HCF subsidies?
Not always, but joining a consortium can increase your eligibility and funding potential. That’s why we automatically provide consortium membership to the healthcare organizations we work with.
How long does the application process take?
The timeline varies depending on where you are in the process (and when in the year you get started), but you can typically expect the process to take multiple months. We take care of everything behind the scenes so you can “set it and forget it” until your subsidies are ready for disbursement.
