See your numbers
In about two weeks: what you’d save, what would come back in rebates, and where to start.
Join at your own pace
Most members start with two or three categories and grow from there. No mandates, no minimums.
Come through your alliance, or come as you are.
Affiliate member
If your organization belongs to one of our partner alliances, APN membership is already waiting — and affiliate members earn the highest fee-shareback rates.
Progressive Healthcare Alliance
Participant member
Independent and stand-alone communities join directly — same contracts, same services, and 100% of rebates. Fee-shareback rates vary by membership path, with alliance-affiliated members earning the highest rates.
Most members serve seniors, but mission-driven neighbors are welcome too — we also serve intellectual and developmental disability organizations and a few acute-care providers.
Request your MORE Review.

Asked by every board, answered plainly.
What does membership cost?
Nothing. There are no dues. APN is funded by vendor fees — and returns the profits to members.
Do we have to move all our purchasing?
No. There are no mandates and no minimums. Most members start with the two or three categories where the MORE Review shows the biggest gap, then grow from there.
We already have a GPO.
Most prospects do. The MORE Review compares your current pricing against APN contracts line by line — so you can see the difference in your own numbers before deciding anything.
Who can join?
Nonprofit and faith-based senior living communities are our core. Intellectual and developmental disability organizations and other mission-driven providers are welcome too.
