CHAMPS GPO Presents The Give Back Program

Collaborating with local agencies and organizations, CHAMPS GPO will give a percentage of proceeds to a participating Northeast Ohio organization with every purchase new CHAMPS Members make.

In the wake of COVID-19, healthcare providers and facilities have had to rapidly shift to delivering virtual patient care and communications. With traditional office visits minimized to protect employees and visitors, leaders within the healthcare field were required to innovate on the fly and come up with creative ways to improve patient outcomes aside from traditional office visits.

In this episode, Tracy Wise, Vice President of CHAMPS GPO, sits down for an engaging talk with Carol Santalucia, director of business development in the Office of Patient Experience at Cleveland Clinic, Delanea Davis, co-founder and CEO of Cloud 9 Online, and Michael Eidsuane, co-founder and CEO of Carely. Topics discussed include the rapid changes to patient care that came in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic and what's happening now to rethink healthcare delivery for the future.

John Pritchard, President & CEO at Share Moving Media, moderates a panel discussion with Scott McDade of McKesson Medical Surgical and Christian Flohr of Henry Schein as they discuss best practices non-acute providers can follow as they navigate the future supply chain.

This episode will feature a dynamic discussion with Blair Childs, senior vice president for public affairs at Premier Inc., about the upcoming 2020 United States presidential election and how the policy platforms of the two major parties will help shape the future of the healthcare supply chain.

Childs will also address lessons learned within the supply chain during COVID-19, the current needs of suppliers and recommendations for consumers and leaders to help make positive change for the healthcare supply chain.

Tim Bugg, President and CEO of Capstone Health Alliance, joins Tracy Wise to discuss ways in which supply chain professionals, suppliers, and the workforce are finding ways to connect when conferences and in-person meetings are not an option.

CHAMPS Group Purchasing is proud to be one of the hundreds of healthcare #supplychain organizations partnering together to bring attention to the dedicated individuals across the healthcare community.

GPOs serve as an extension of your purchasing department. Partnering with suppliers, group purchasing organizations can help organizations save money and improve efficiencies they may not otherwise achieve on their own.
