CHC Supply Trust Growing Number of Supply Chain Management Members

Community Hospital Corporation owns, manages and consults with hospitals through CHC Hospitals, CHC Consulting and CHC ContinueCARE, which share a common purpose to guide, support and enhance the mission of community hospitals and healthcare providers.

CHC Supply Trust offers healthcare supply chain management support to community hospitals, including GPO access through the HealthTrust Purchasing Group (HPG) to achieve the best in industry pricing for hospitals regardless of size or volume.

CHC announced that it recently surpassed a major milestone: CHC Supply Trust now serves 101 hospitals by providing group purchasing organization (GPO) access, supply chain management support, and strategic insight necessary to meet current and future needs.

CHC Supply Trust, the supply chain services arm of Community Hospital Corporation and CHC Consulting, offers a full spectrum of supply chain solutions tailor-made for community hospitals, including Tier 1 GPO pricing, regardless of hospital size or annual spend.

CHC Supply Trust offers Purchased Services management powered by Valify Solutions Group. This cost management solution helps hospitals control purchased services expenses by comparing contracts and costs with similar hospitals and vendors.

HealthTrust and CHC completed a long-term partnership agreement in 2020 to strengthen the operating performance of community-based hospitals. The contract renewal with HealthTrust preserves the support structure and resources these community hospitals and non-acute providers have come to depend on to manage the escalating costs of healthcare delivery.

Takeaway: Hospitals are positioning to optimize their supply chain in response to lessons learned during the pandemic
