What this page said
Through the Affiliate Program, a limited number of hospitals and health systems could replicate the institute's programs at their own sites. Under a five-year renewable contract, institute faculty trained staff, supervised the set-up of clinics, monitored performance through site visits, supplied marketing, administrative and billing support, offered joint research, territorial exclusivity, regular teleconferences and proprietary materials such as manuals and recordings.
Affiliates could use the institute's name. The page listed a price of $400,000 for a five-year full affiliation, with a reduced price for one clinical area, and a companion FAQ answered operational questions. Terms are from 2009 and are given for historical interest only.
