CHCollective Purchasing Summit & Reverse Expo

The CHCollective Purchasing Summit & Reverse Expo is a unique event designed specifically for Community Health Center leadership and professionals in purchasing, finance, and operations. This summit serves as a platform for attendees to enhance their knowledge of FQHC supply chain management through a series of educational sessions, peer networking opportunities, and a reverse expo. The event stands out as the only health center-owned and operated channel partner to Provista-Vizient, the largest healthcare group purchasing organization, which has been meticulously built over the last two decades to serve a dedicated health center client group. Through this strategic partnership, CHCollective provides access to the broadest contract portfolio with substantial discounts on essential supplies, equipment, products, and services.Exhibitors at the summit, such as Retractable Technologies, have expressed high satisfaction with the event, highlighting the opportunity to meet supply chain and materials professionals who recognize the value of a Group Purchasing Organization (GPO). The emphasis on building meaningful relationships and collaborating on future IT, telecom, and connectivity solutions aligns with the goals of both vendors and health centers. Attendees have praised the professionalism and commitment of the CHCollective team, noting that the Reverse Expo, particularly, was an exceptional opportunity to connect with fellow FQHC leaders in a relaxed atmosphere. The hosted table sessions were effective for informal networking, allowing for valuable interactions with existing clients and fostering new relationships among health center members. Overall, the CHCollective Purchasing Summit & Reverse Expo is deemed a worthwhile investment for participants, promising future engagement opportunities and continued partnerships.
