Supplier Diversity Policy Statement
Prime Healthcare hospitals are committed to providing Small Business, Minority Owned, Women Owned, Lesbian, Gay, Bi-Sexual and Transgender Owned (LGBQ), Veteran Owned and Disabled Veteran Owned an equal opportunity to compete for and earn contracts for the goods and services hospital purchase. Hospitals will strive to make it easier for vendors to find procurement opportunities and for the hospital to identify available vendors.
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
In alignment with our commitment to inclusive procurement, Prime Healthcare aims to increase sourcing from women-owned, minority-owned, LGBTQ+-owned, and disabled veteran-owned business enterprises (W/MBE, LGBTBE, DVBE) over the next 24 months. To achieve this, we will actively explore purchasing opportunities outside of our current Group Purchasing Organization (GPO) contracts. This initiative will allow us to identify and engage with a broader range of diverse suppliers, fostering innovation, equity, and resilience within our supply chain.
