Supplier Diversity Policy Statement

Chinese Hospital's Supplier Diversity Program promotes business relationships and contract opportunities with diverse businesses wishing to provide goods and services to the Hospital's community.

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, our current resources do not allow for an expansion of our supplier diversity program. Nevertheless, Chinese Hospital collaborates closely with its Group Purchasing Organization (GPO) to identify suppliers and companies that align with our commitment to women, minority, LGBT, and disabled veteran business enterprises. Additionally, the GPO provides the Hospital with a list of preferred suppliers who actively participate in the supplier diversity initiative.
