Group Purchasing Organization
Members of our GPO enjoy combined buying power – while vendors connect with their consumers in a more meaningful way.
DOLLARS GO FURTHER FOR MEMBERS OF OUR GPO
GPO members enjoy the combined buying power of more than 30 hospitals and health systems, 100+ post-acute/long-term care facilities, and over 60 select business partners.
GPO contracts cover a wide variety of products and services, including: energy costs, language services, food service, facility/property management, professional services, medical/solid/hazardous waste management, technology, and more.
