Chinese Hospital’s Supplier Diversity Program fosters business relationships and contracting opportunities with diverse businesses that provide goods and services to the hospital community. The Hospital views supplier diversity as an essential component of its overall supply chain strategy and is committed to creating opportunities for certified diverse business enterprises to participate as valued partners and suppliers.
2. Goals and Timetables
Please describe your hospital's short-term goals and timetables, but not quotas, for increasing procurement from women, minority, LGBT, and disabled veteran business enterprises
As an independent, 88-bed acute care community hospital, Chinese Hospital does not currently have the resources to expand its supplier diversity program. However, the Hospital works closely with its Group Purchasing Organization (GPO) to identify suppliers that align with its commitment to women, minority, LGBT, and disabled veteran owned business enterprises. The GPO also provides a list of preferred suppliers that participate in supplier diversity initiatives.
