Group Purchasing Organization
By managing joint purchasing efforts on behalf of our members and partners, The Health Collaborative helps hospitals and health care systems support diverse and local companies while saving money and advancing their health equity goals.
We build meaningful business relationships that are also cost effective
Participants in our Group Purchasing Organization enjoy the combined buying power of more than 40 hospitals and health systems and over 125 other healthcare providers and 20+ business partners. Because we continually grow and develop business relationships between healthcare providers and local minority-, women-, and veteran-owned vendor organizations and social enterprises, our members and partners benefit from our high purchasing volume while supporting health equity in the community. By managing contracts on behalf of our members and partners, we save them time and energy in addition to securing valuable discounts
GPO contracts cover a wide variety of products and services including:
- energy needs
- language services
- food service
- facility/property management
- professional services and supplies
- medical, solid, and hazardous waste management and technology
Thank you to our current preferred vendors!
All GPO members and vendors are eligible to submit “advertorials” to our Cerkl newsletter.
