Healthcare workers in Northeast Ohio will have access to credit union services thanks to a partnership between the Ohio Healthcare Federal Credit Union and the Center for Health Affairs, a leading advocate for Northeast Ohio hospitals to serve the Northeast Ohio healthcare workforce. Ohio Healthcare FCU has roughly 8,500 members and $50 million in assets.

“Through this partnership with The Center for Health Affairs, the healthcare community in Northeast Ohio will have a trusted financial institution dedicated exclusively to meeting their unique needs,” said Bill Butler, CEO for the Columbus, Ohio-based credit union.

According to Lisa Anderson, vice president of The Center 's member services division, the partnership will help bring OHCFCU's services to the region's healthcare employees and volunteers, their spouses and family members.

“As the value of a credit union membership gains ground in the public eye, OHCFCU continues to offer competitive loan rates and ways to help members maximize their spending dollars by creating unique programs like their Professional Development Savings Club,” said Anderson.

As part of the partnership, a website www.webcuNEO.com has been created to make it easier for healthcare staffers to open their accounts online.
