[ History and Structure ]

The Northern Metropolitan Hospital Association (NorMet) was originally established in 1974 as a membership organization for some 40 voluntary and public hospitals located in the seven Hudson Valley counties immediately north of New York City — Dutchess, Orange, Putnam, Rockland, Sullivan, Ulster and Westchester.

NorMet has grown considerably since 1974, yet remains specifically committed to helping health care facilities in the Hudson Valley to increase their operational effectiveness and better meet the public's health care needs. A growing array of Association functions and activities brought on the need for corporate reorganization during 1983, and resulted in the formation of three distinct corporate entities.

  • NorMet Hospital Association


  • NorMet Shared Services


  • Normet Health Care Foundation


NorMet Hospital Association is a 501(c) (6) trade organization which acts as an information clearinghouse, pursues governmental relations activities and advocacy, and acts as liaison with numerous regulatory and health related agencies.

NorMet Shared Services Corporation, a Sub-Chapter T business organization, facilitates cost savings through group purchasing of health care related goods and services, joint credit and collection programs, and other shared undertakings on behalf of the NorMet membership.

NorMet Health Care Foundation, a 501(c) (3) not-for-profit corporation assists in the development of educational programs, research activities, and dissemination of public information.

Together, the three NorMet corporations present an integrated program of services to help the Hudson Valley's health care facilities better serve the public.
