about us

Based in North Mankato, Minnesota, the South Central Service Cooperative (SCSC) programs and services are member driven to utilize resources in the most efficient and effective manner possible. SCSC is one of nine regional agencies called service cooperatives, established in 1976 by Minnesota legislation (M.S. 123A.21). 

SCSC may be viewed as a service extension of both the participating members and the representative state agencies. Financial support is derived from facilitation of programs and services and from membership dues. A Board of Directors composed of one appointed member and up to 12 elected members governs the service cooperative. The SCSC Chief Executive Officer is Les Martisko, Ph.D.

THE MINNESOTA HEALTHCARE CONSORTIUM
Seven Minnesota service cooperatives have joined together to provide the cost savings of being self-insured with the financial safety of being in a pool. Statewide there are hundreds of organizations with thousands of members participating in the Minnesota Healthcare Consortium. Your regional cooperative, together with other participating service cooperatives from across the state, negotiates statewide stop-loss pricing, administrative discounts, and lower healthcare costs.
OUR MISSION
We are dedicated to empowering and engaging our members in lifelong health and well-being.

OUR BOARD
The MHC Board is made up of members from the seven Regional Service Cooperative Boards that participate in MHC. They also serve at the local level as school district board members, city council members, county commissioners and non-profit organizations board members. They see first-hand the struggles public agencies face related to managing and funding employee benefits. These Board members give their time to help shape MHC into an organization that will bring the best product and services to our members.

MSC LogoThe Minnesota Service Cooperatives (MSC) is a Joint Powers organization comprised of nine educational service agencies. The Minnesota Service Cooperatives performs planning on a regional basis and assists in meeting specific needs of clients in participating governmental units which could be better provided by a Service Cooperative than by members themselves.
The nine educational service agencies are geographically distributed across the state and serve members in their respective areas. Each agency has a unique understanding of the strengths and needs of their members and use these insights to positively impact and improve outcomes.
