May 5, 2121 – HealthTrust (Nashville, TN) and Tenet Healthcare (Dallas, TX) have renewed their agreement to elevate supply chain performance and support clinical operations.
In renewing the GPO agreement, HealthTrust and Tenet will expand clinical integration capabilities to optimize the contract portfolio.
In addition, HealthTrust will support Tenet’s expansion of service-line operations, notably its USPI (Dallas, TX) ambulatory platform of surgery centers and surgical hospitals. Tenet will also participate in HealthTrust’s co-managed joint venture to produce personal protective equipment (PPE) in the U.S.
“Our relationship over the years has returned value and efficiencies from aggregation and executing operational improvements,” said Richard Yonker, VP of supply chain for Tenet Healthcare. “During the COVID surge, we worked closely to ensure continuity of critical PPE for staff and to secure supplies needed to administer vaccinations to tens of thousands of people. We look forward to growing this partnership to the benefit of our providers, patients and communities.”
