Hello Delta Purchasing Alliance (“DPA”) Members! I hope 2024 has been good to each of you and you’re all enjoying a healthy and productive new year. In this edition of our quarterly email newsletter, we’re focused on big changes in the world of community health center group purchasing.
Most of you have heard by now about the launch of CHCollective. In this newsletter we’ll provide more detail on CHCollective and its relationships with the DPA and Provista/Vizient. This is an exciting time for DPA members and we’re looking forward to tremendous new savings opportunities in the future.
Also in this newsletter, we’ll provide a recap of the recent 2024 DPA Member Summit in New Orleans! If you’ve not attended a DPA Member Summit previously, you really should make plans to attend one of our future events. The DPA Member Summit is an incredible opportunity to network with your peers working in community health center supply chain/procurement, learn about the latest DPA savings opportunities, connect with the DPA’s key vendor/supplier partners, and participate in educational sessions geared towards purchasing “best practices.”
As always, if you have any questions for me or suggestions for the Delta Purchasing Alliance, please email me at don.daniel@pmsnm.org.
