Hospital Supplier Diversity Report

1. Policy Statement

Supplier Diversity Policy Statement

Tenet Healthcare is an equity member of HealthTrust Group Purchasing Organization. As an equity member, and considering the vast majority of Tenet's product procurement, and a large portion of purchased service procurement are performed utilizing HealthTrust contracted vendors, Tenet supports and leverages HealthTrust's Supplier Diversity Program. The HealthTrust Supplier Diversity Program is primarily focused on building relationships with and seeking contractual opportunities for minority-owned businesses, women-owned businesses, veteran-owned small businesses and service-disabled veteran-owned businesses whose ownership is certified, respectively, by the National Minority Supplier Development Council, the Women's Business Enterprise National Council, and/or the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs. Most vendor selections, including sourcing and procurement activities, are performed at the system-level, with minimal hospital-level sourcing, contracting and purchasing activities.
