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
Trinity Health Supply Chain is committed to Impact Purchasing, which promotes the intentional use of our buying power to positively impact the communities we serve. The intent is to improve community health by seeking vendor partners that build community prosperity and create economic mobility in Trinity service areas. Impact Purchasing is also critical to supply chain resiliency. The focused effort to seek suppliers invested in our communities is a protective action that strengthens the organization's ability to respond to risks in the supply chain. Vendors currently within scope of Impact Purchasing are community based, represent disadvantaged communities (minorities, women, veterans, etc.) and have demonstrated commitment to the environmental health of communities.
