We supply behavioral health facilities and other continuum of care providers with innovative solutions for their purchasing and operational needs.
Diverse Solutions for Diverse Disciplines
Behavioral health facilities and other providers within the continuum of care (including clinical labs, diagnostic imaging centers, first responders, emergency services, adult daycare facilities and more) serve a population with a wide range of needs, making them reliant on a dependable and cost-effective healthcare supply chain. Changing demographics, evolving patient preferences and growing demand put pressure on providers as competition creates revenue challenges.
We empower providers with competitive pricing and better tools via industry-leading group purchasing.
Serving the complex needs of patients needing behavioral healthcare brings a wide set of product and foodservice needs. We offer both operational support and strategic group purchasing capabilities to inpatient facilities, leveraging over $87 billion in purchasing power and access to more than 3,000+ contracts — all at no additional membership cost. Our portfolio includes an industry-leading foodservice program through our exclusive distribution agreement with US Foods.
Clinical labs have highly specific purchasing needs that include relatively uncommon and sometimes hard-to-source products. When a supplier is out of stock, clinical labs can’t afford to wait until the supplier works it out. We open up your lab’s supplier network far beyond what would be feasible independently. For example, we maintain relationships with 29 suppliers in analyzers, reagents and consumables alone.
We provide healthcare supply chain and operations support to diagnostic imaging centers, delivering access to a vast network of suppliers via one of the industry’s most comprehensive purchasing portfolios including medical/surgical supplies, office products and capital equipment.
First responders play a life-saving role, but to do so, they need ready access to the right products at the right price. We provide best-in-class pricing with a large network of suppliers trusted by first responders, leveraging the purchasing power of more than 325,000 healthcare providers.
Serving a population with developmental and other disabilities, adult daycare facilities require a unique mix of medical supplies, personal care items, other physical purchasing needs and foodservice. Independent providers must negotiate purchasing with dozens of vendors, creating both logistical burdens and cost pressures.
We offer group purchasing power with over 3,300 contracts with trusted national suppliers, plus an exclusive distribution agreement with US Foods. We provide immediate cost savings on both supplies and foodservice purchases.
