Supporting Thriving Communities
We invest locally through supply chain sourcing contracts as part of our commitment to build communities where all can be healthy and thrive.
A strong and resilient supply chain is essential to delivering uninterrupted, high-quality care. At AdventHealth, we collaborate closely with our suppliers to ensure stability, adaptability and preparedness for potential disruptions. Through strategic sourcing, local partnerships, risk management and proactive planning, we build a flexible and inclusive supplier base — reducing risk, ensuring continuity of care and supporting long-term growth.
Our Approach to Building a Resilient, Inclusive Supply Chain

Aligning With Suppliers
We work with our Group Purchasing Organization (GPO) to identify suppliers who align with our procurement and contractual needs. We actively seek businesses that meet our standards and share a commitment to supplier diversity. To learn more about contracting with Premier, visit premierinc.com/suppliers.
