Ardent Health, a healthcare company that invests in 30 hospitals throughout six states, signed another exclusive contract with group purchasing organization HealthTrust Dec. 15.
For the next 10 years, HealthTrust will exclusively supply its services to Ardent Health after decades of working together, according to a news release.
"Given many disruptions in the supply chain environment over the last two years, HealthTrust and its approach to contracting has clearly demonstrated the ability to maintain supply/service levels and contain costs by defending against mid-term increases from vendors," Marty Bonick, president and CEO of Ardent Health Services, said in the release.
Ardent Health covers hospitals and systems across Idaho, Kansas, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas.
