Supplier Diversity Policy Statement
"Huntington is dedicated to ensuring equity in all aspects of our work. Supplier diversity adds value to our organization by ensuring that our vendors, contractors, and suppliers mirror the community that we serve. In addition, a successful program contributes to the economic growth and sustainability of our community." - Dr. Lori Morgan, CEO Below is the newly created, Supplier Diversity Policy Statement that will help drive our Supplier Diversity Program's framework: Huntington Health's (HH) commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion extends beyond our walls and into the communities where we live and work, and we are committed to working with small and diverse owned businesses. We make every effort to be inclusive of all businesses regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, physical or mental disability, military/veteran, and those that are economically disadvantaged. We believe the sum of this diversity enables us to successfully achieve our mission of connection and community outreach. Further-more, we recognize the competitive advantage that supplier diversity brings to our supply base and the strengthening it provides to the communities and economy in which we operate. Our program ultimately aims to enable the growth and success of diverse owned businesses and is committed to respect and integrity for all. Our Supplier Diversity Program strives to: -Foster an inclusive procurement process by providing all HH personnel, who are involved in the acquisition and use of goods and services, adequate tools and training to enhance their understanding of and ability to meet our supplier diversity goals and objectives -Work to ensure that certified businesses are provided the maximum opportunity to compete for business opportunities as a supplier or contractor for goods and services provided throughout the hospital -Encourage second tier spend reporting by our prime suppliers and seek a pledge to reinforce second tier supplier diversity reporting -Establish reasonable and attainable goals consistent with our policies and practices to measure and report our success -Empower diverse owned businesses with the provision of information and guidance, via various communication and outreach engagements, regarding the process of how to participate in our Supplier Diversity Program Our program will assist diverse owned businesses through the following focus areas: -Development of Diverse Owned Businesses: Offer channels to technical assistance and capacity building workshops to prepare diverse owned businesses to do business with HH -Outreach to Diverse Owned Businesses: Actively seek diverse suppliers through involvement with external community business organizations and participate in industry trade shows and events. -Inclusion of Diverse Owned Businesses: Facilitate internal programs, and introductions to key stakeholders, to promote awareness and inclusion of diverse owned businesses in sourcing and procurement opportunities.

Outreach and Communication
How does your hospital encourage and seek out minority, women, LGBT, and disabled veteran business enterprises to become potential suppliers?
As mentioned above, HH Supplier Diversity Program will focus on three key areas to maximize our efforts of encouraging and seeking out minority, women, LGBT, and disabled veteran business enterprises to become potential suppliers. The three areas are Supplier Inclusion, Supplier Development, and Supplier Outreach. Supplier Inclusion will include the facilitation and utilization of diverse owned businesses through the establishment of internal supplier diversity spend goals, spend analytics and strategic procurement practices, at both the prime and subcontractor level. Supplier Development will include offering and sponsoring of various capacity building and technical assistance workshops to help to support the growth and development of diverse owned businesses. These engagements will also allow for the opportunity for HH to share information regarding our upcoming procurement opportunities so that suppliers could prepare accordingly. Finally, our Supplier Outreach focus will be comprised of building strategic and productive partnerships with key external business-based organizations and advocacy partners to expand our supplier reach, help source qualified diverse owned businesses and ultimately achieve our program mission.
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?
Additional plans for the near future include the requirement that all employees, involved with procurement responsibilities, complete an online training course to help drive the awareness of our new Supplier Diversity Program, initiatives, efforts, and expectations of them. To also help ensure adherence to HH Supplier Diversity Program, longer term plans include the modification/creation of current procurement policies and procedures to incorporate Supplier Diversity Program specific procurement practices.
How does your hospital conduct outreach and communication to minority, women, LGBT, and disabled veteran business enterprises?
Supplier Outreach is one of the key focus areas of our Supplier Diversity Program. We plan to utilize our strategic partnerships with external business-based organizations and advocacy partners to participate in various exhibitor fairs, town halls, business symposiums, webinars, panel discussions, and workshops in our efforts of connecting to the diverse owned business community.
