ABOUT OUR COMPANY
Who We Are:
The best hospitals in America share a commitment to education, but it costs them. A typical health system invests $10 million annually on education.

HPC International, Inc. developed a revolutionary system for managing education spending and activity that’s proven, effective, easy-to-implement, and requires no extra staff. HPC’s Education Management System leverages all your educational spend and offers all the training products and research support you need from one source, with a turn-key administrative solution you simply drop into your operation and power on – saving you time and reducing costs by an average 10% annually.
Our system is made of 3 components, each powered by our team of specialists and our proprietary online portal called the HPC S.M.A.R.T. Hub to deliverStandardization, Management, Administrative support, Reduced costs, andTransparency.
