1. Policy Statement

Supplier Diversity Policy Statement

Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital ("Henry Mayo") is committed to facilitating nondiscriminatory business relationships by providing equal access and opportunity to all suppliers and promoting the diversity of vendors within its supply chain. Henry Mayo's vendors reflect their support in our commitment to diversity and inclusion by performing work for the communities we serve. Our Supplier Diversity Policy has been developed to encompass all activities of Henry Mayo with outreach, identification, and participation of Small and Historically Underutilized Businesses (S/HUBS), Minority, Women, LGBTQ, Veteran, and/or Service-Disabled Veteran Business Enterprises in Contracting Opportunities for construction, architectural, engineering, and other goods and services (including professional services). All supplier diversity related data and measures will be documented in accordance with California State Assembly Bill 962 (AB962) and AB1392 to the Department of Health Care Access and Information.

Proposed products and equipment are evaluated by Henry Mayo’s Value Analysis Committees (VAC).

Once a product is approved, the committee oversees its implementation and conducts a follow-up evaluation to ensure it meets clinical and operational needs.
