Hospital Supplier Diversity Report

1. Policy Statement

Supplier Diversity Policy Statement

Consistent with our Corporate Vision Statement, "We are an integral partner in elevating our communities' health," Emanate Health strives to provide business opportunities for diverse suppliers, including ethnic minority-, women-, veteran and LGBTQ-owned companies that represent and mirror the communities we serve not only clinically, but economically as well. It is the policy of Emanate Health to elevate and support relationships within the communities served through the development, inclusion, and utilization of certified minority, women, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer (LGBTQ), and disabled veteran business enterprises, that exhibit a high standard of excellence, whenever feasible. Whenever practicable, Emanate Health will request from new and prospective suppliers, information on whether they qualify and/or are certified under small and diverse business supplier categories per established Emanate Health sourcing practices, request for information (RFI), and request for proposals (RFP). Emanate Health will also encourage our primary suppliers and distributors to provide opportunities to small and diverse suppliers and manufacturers for the products ordered through them.

Outreach and Communication

How does your hospital encourage and seek out minority, women, LGBT, and disabled veteran business enterprises to become potential suppliers?

Qualifying diverse suppliers are able to register with Vizient, our Group Purchasing Organization (GPO), in order to obtain preferred vendor status. The Vizient catalog contains more than 200 national agreements with certified diverse suppliers and small businesses. Emanate Health can access this catalog for contracts with community based small and diverse suppliers. In addition, Emanate Health is a member of the West Coast Purchasing Coalition (WCPC) and actively participates in discussions and initiatives surrounding the utilization and consideration of diverse suppliers.

How does your hospital encourage its employees involved in procurement to seek out minority, women, LGBT, and disabled veteran business enterprises to become potential suppliers?

The Emanate Health purchasing organization currently relies primarily on its established vendors and purchasing contracts through our membership with Vizient, on whom Emanate relies to properly vet and certify and enter into business relationships for the benefit of its members. Members of the procurement team also serve on the Construction Bid Committee and have the opportunity to encourage the use of diverse suppliers during the RFP process for larger procurement and service projects for departments like Plant Operations, Planning, Building and Construction and Information Services, which are less likely to be channeled through our GPO or primary distributor (Medline). We are currently working with the Information Technology (IT) department to further modify the Vendor Maintenance screens in our Materials Management information System (MMIS) in order to capture additional diverse supplier qualifications and enhance Emanate's ability to identify diverse suppliers in the procurement process and evaluate spend data.

How does your hospital conduct outreach and communication to minority, women, LGBT, and disabled veteran business enterprises?

In lieu of conducting proactive outreach and communication, Emanate Health directs solicitations by qualifying diverse companies to register with Vizient, our GPO, to be considered as potential suppliers.

Emanate Health is a member of the Vizient GPO, who assists with contracting for a significant portion of our procurement portfolio. Their Diversity Policy Statement is as follows: Vizient Supplier Diversity Statement - "Supporting the growth and development of diverse and small business promotes economic sustainability in all of our communities through access to jobs, housing, health care and more. Members are seeking opportunities to shift supply and service spend to local suppliers in order to help promote growth and economic improvement, which will ultimately help improve the health of the patient population. Vizient works with organizations that support minority-, women-, LGBT-, disability- and veteran owned enterprises. Through them, certified diverse suppliers can access learning, mentoring, potential capital opportunities and other resources to help attain sustainable growth, resulting in healthier and stronger communities."
