title: Home-grown health plan.
abstract: Most companies in Sullivan County, N.H., employ fewer than five people, so a decade of economic decline meant many could't afford to offer health benefits. Valley Regional Healthcare saw its chance to help out the community, launching an HMO-style plan that keeps control--and spending--local.
