OHN: Serving Hospitals and Clinics Statewide

OHN is connecting Health Care providers across the state to the advanced care capabilities to be achieved through high-speed broadband access.

Our participants range from large hospital systems to small rural clinics, tribal clinics, FQHC's and school-based clinics.  With such a diverse participant base, OHN understands that the needs and challenges of these providers are equally diverse.

The benefits of OHN participation are not only designed to serve your organization's goals, but for the patients and the surrounding community that you serve.
