Effective January 1, 2006 the membership program allows for NPO Membership through annual dues of $250.00 per year without having to acquire shares in, or become a Shareholder on NPO.

Professional Entities Membership
In case of NPO Shareholders which are business entities, each physician that owns, or is employed by an NPO Shareholder is required to apply to participate in NPO s an "NPO Member"

The Board has considered various ways to maintain and increase participation in NPO and the programs and benefits it offers.
