Medline announced that it has forged a $40 million prime vendor partnership with New York-based Arnot Health.
As the system’s primary supplier, Medline will exclusively provide an extensive portfolio of medical supplies and services to three diverse healthcare campuses across the southern tier of New York, the company said yesterday. The two organizations will identify new strategies for enhancing patient outcomes and streamlining supply chain operations.
“Care is evolving and so should our approach to ensuring we are not looking solely at cost but overall value and impact,” Susan Houghtelling, system director of supply chain at Arnot Health, said in a news release. “Working with Medline allows us to leverage their entire scope of expertise in the areas of supply chain logistics and clinical solutions, as well as their proactive hands-on approach, to ultimately help improve our operating performance.”
