A longtime leader in healthcare improvement, we’re developing new ways to revolutionize the industry.
Corporate Social Responsibility
Premier and our employees are committed to Giving Goodwill.
Creating a Powerful Force for Change
Premier's mission is simple and honest – to improve the health of communities. Our Giving Goodwill Initiative reflects our commitment to embracing our social responsibility in everything we do: promoting a diverse and inclusive workforce, cultivating a culture of giving back through employee volunteerism, and investing in and partnering with nonprofits dedicated to improving community health. Premier provides our employees paid time off each quarter to give back to their local communities.
The program’s framework offers employees a variety of opportunities that encourage teams to volunteer together, donate to those in need and make a real difference in the communities they live in. From the Salvation Army Angel Tree program to Classroom Central’s annual back-to-school supply drive, Premier employees are always looking for the next way to give back.
Investing in Our Community
Since 1991, Premier has recognized the exemplary efforts of community organizations dedicated to helping the medically underserved with the Monroe E. Trout Premier Cares Award and a $100,000 gift from Premier to support their program and their community’s health. To date, the program has provided over $3 million to more than 100 organizations nationwide.
Pursuing Our Mission and Purpose
Sustainability is at the heart of our mission, culture and business practices. We’re fully committed to further embedding ESG practices into all aspects of our organization to secure a more sustainable future and drive positive change in our business, our communities and our world.
