Terms in plain English
Project Healthcare is a fee-based program: participation costs $6,000, payable in full or as $1,500 per month over four months, with an HCA scholarship available. The program provides no cash investment, and no equity component is published; you pay to participate rather than sell equity. The 12-week fall program (September to December 2026) centers on mentorship, curriculum on selling into health systems and partnering with payors, and site visits to Nashville health systems including HCA, Lifepoint, and Ascension Saint Thomas.
Who this is actually for
Early-stage healthcare founders with some traction who want deep exposure to the Nashville health-system ecosystem and are comfortable paying a program fee instead of giving up equity. Especially relevant if selling into health systems or payors is your next milestone.
