Medline announced a $12 million prime vendor partnership with Yuma Regional Medical Center, an acute care facility with 406 inpatient beds in Southwest Arizona. After being with a previous vendor for several decades, the two organizations will now identify new strategies for enhancing operational and clinical efficiencies across the acute care hospital and multiple ambulatory facilities.
“Yuma Regional Medical Center is always looking for cost saving opportunities to help improve patient outcomes without compromising product quality,” says Sean Hazlett, director, supply chain services, Yuma Regional Medical Center. “The support and teamwork we have received from Medline during the transition period has been ‘best in class’ and we look forward to many successful years to come.”
“We’re pleased to start this new chapter working side-by-side with Yuma Regional Medical Center to help uncover new ways to free up more time and dollars for patient care,” says John Abele, vice president, corporate sales, Medline.
