Minority owned suppliers are encouraged to register with HealthTrust Purchasing Group (HPG), our Group Purchasing Organization. HPG provides a listing of "Diversity" supplier contracts (currently 158 agreements) on the member accessible online contracts portal.

Conduct a thorough search using available tools to search for diverse suppliers for every applicable purchasing and contracting opportunity. Suppliers must be certified as a minority owned business. b. Integrate diverse suppliers in all phases of the contracting/purchasing process and enhance diverse supplier where opportunities exist. c. Continue to utilize and develop diverse suppliers who perform well.
