We know that operating more efficiently while reducing costs is your top priority. As a network of independently owned and managed facilities, WHA members have access to programs not otherwise available to stand-alone facilities. WHA partners with Premier to bring members a robust non-acute portfolio. Through a partnership with Adventist Health and Henry Schein Medical, this program provides contract access to medical / surgical supplies, pharmaceuticals, laboratory supplies, and equipment specifically for non-acute facilities.
The WHA non-acute GPO program can help members balance supply costs and simplify their ordering process. Adventist Health provides back office support to assure pricing connectivity and integrity.
